Tomás (Tom) Caslin

We were sorry to hear about Tom's passing. Our sympathies to the family

Our sincere sympathy to the whole family. We were delighted that our lives has crossed with Tom's. We have met him in several occasions since 2017. He is such a pleasant and kind gentleman. We see his good heart in his daughter Naula. We consider Naula, her husband Eamonn and their children our family as well. Sympathy to all again.

Deepest sympathies to you all. Tom was a unique gentleman in all respects. A man of deep faith, intellect and humour. He'll be remembered fondly by his students. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.

To Ruairi,Rose,Siomha Beibhinn and Deirdre sincere condolences on the sad passing of your Dad and Grandad we know he was such a big presence in your lives .Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

Chris Grainne and family.

My sincere sympathy to the Caslin Family on the sad passing of your dear dad Tom. I have fond memories of him teaching in St. Patrick’s College. He was a true gentleman. Thinking of you all at this sad and difficult time. May his gentle soul rest in eternal peace reunited with his beloved Mary and Conor.

Sincere sympathies to the Caslin Family. Tom was a gentleman and a well rounded teacher. Tanzanian coffee saleman and then the trip to donegal with two car loads of st. pats students and his dog in the front seat (along with Mr. Paddy Mulligan), a trip of a lifetime.

To Nuala, Ruairi and your extended families. So sad to hear of Tom's recent death. I didn't have the pleasure of knowing Tom personally, but having read some of the stories here, I definitely missed out! Some great memories recalled here, which you will no doubt enjoy reading as they bring a smile to your face and definitely a tear to your eye. He was, by all accounts, a legend, highly respected and admired by all those who crossed his path. Let all these memories help you through the sad times. Deepest sympathies to you all. Rest in Peace Tom.

Sincere sympathies to the Caslin Family. I've fond memories of Inter cert English classes (Oxygen, Tanzanian tea and standing on my hind legs). He cared deeply about making his students aware of the important things in life and the fragility of our planet - we were much, much the better for his efforts. May he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathies to Ruari and Nuala and their families. Your Dad introduced Freda my sister (RIP) to camping and being introduced to a lady on our walks who lived in the mountains (I think her name was Mary) the Caslins became great friends of her. Also after Mary passed away your Dad visited Mammy (RIP)over the years. RIP

So sorry to hear this sad news. Thinking on all the Caslin family.

Condolences to all the caslin family may he rest in peace x

So sorry to hear this news. As a friend of Conor (RIP), I was welcomed into the Caslin home years before Tom became my teacher. He was a unique and fascinating man and an inspirational teacher. Sincere condolences to Nuala and Rúairí
and their families. RIP, Tomás, ní bheidh do leithéid ann arís go deo.

Heartfelt condolences to Nuala, Ruairi and all the extended family on the passing of Tom. Thinking of you all at this sad time.May Tom rest in peace.🙏

My sincere sympathies to all of the Caslin family on Tom’s passing; he was a man possessed of unique wit and admirable social conscience. Whether encouraging us not to watch “the idiot’s lantern”, getting us to engage in critical thinking, or asking us to support Fair Trade with Cuban sweets and Tanzanian coffee, Mr. Caslin’s English classes were memorable, and delivered with an inimitable style. I will always be grateful for an enduring love of the language that he imparted. May he rest in peace. 

Condolences to the caslin family on Tom's passing his wonderful ways made his class in St Pat's unforgettable..r.i.p tom..

A entertaining and inspirational teacher. I still remember him giving out about people cutting their grass, and spending an entire class talking about all the plants that grew in his front garden and their medicinal uses. Always looked forward to his classes. Rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to all Tom's family and friends. A true gentleman and great mountaineer. It was a privilege to have spent many days hiking in his company.

Sincere condolences to the Caslin family on the passing of Tom. Tom taught me both English and Irish in St. Pats. He was a great teacher and a great character always making the class very interesting. Some very funny memories. I certainly remember the open windows and all that good oxygen. May he rest in peace.

Condolences to the family of Tom, he was a fantastic character, he learned me all the Irish and English I have since forgotten.....!!
My late mother loved to buy the imported coffee from Tanzania he must have been one of the original cross border purveyors of Cavan. RIP Tom and thank you for all the good memories.

Sincere condolences to the Caslin Family . Tom lived a long, happy life& threw his heart into whatever he was doing . He was an amazing hill- walker right up to his stroke - & he had a light stride across the boggy areas & never seemed to get as mucky as the rest of us . Such an interesting man - he will be sadly missed . Rest in Peace .

Deepest condolences to Rory & Nuala and all the grandchildren. Tom, who was born in a small village and lived most of his life in a small town was very much a man of the world. His immense interest in a wide variety of topics was inspirational. He was extremely well read and was generous with his knowledge. I have fond memories of visiting the Caslin family in the 1970s and 1980s - the white goats, the beehives, the dog Vara and the Elderflower wine. Rest in Peace Tom.

Tom was a regular visitor to the Tierney house in Ballyhaise as was Mary collecting Rory, Nuala and the wonderful Conor after Ballyhaise National School and Mary Tierney's nourishing.
Tom taught the Tierney brothers Chess and also Poker which later put Ballyhaise on the map as a fundraising resource. He was so different as an Educationalist and proud of his Longford roots. Delightful Man.

May we express our deepest sympathy to the Caslin family on the sad passing of their dear Dad. Affably known as Bawna to us mortals who passed through St. Pats College, this great man would regale us of stories from the great explorers, adventurers, a modern-day Ernest Shakleton without the ship Endurance. A Teacher who stepped outside the teaching curriculums to bring explanation and interest to his audience, Bawna walked and talked the talk more than anyone else. Rest in Peace Mr. Caslin, and thanks for the memories. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

Nuala + family

Missing a true friend. May Mary and Conor meet him on heavenly hillsides and welcome him with Elderberry Wine and pure honey. Lovely memories of Keelagh, Laght, homemade beverages, meals in Robin Hill in Gowna, Christmas night visits to us when our children lapped up his absorbing conversation, Scouts Pantomimes, Dutch cigars and a crooked pipe in the late sixties that gave way to a horror of other people’s fire sticks, Vara his dog that lay at my feet in Tom’s car on the way to Trinity, ASTI branch treasurer, Cavan Credit Union Supervisor, I have a special memory of Tomas on his return to Cavan General after his stroke. I went to visit him and when I was leaving he popped out of the bed and said ‘I’ll go to the door with you’. And he did. It was so disappointing for Tom when his flow of speech did desert him but he still had a warm welcome for us. Keep the angels busy Tom. Patsy and Anne Lee

Thinking of you all at this very sad time. I'm sure you will all miss him and without doubt have some wonderful memories of your time together.
May he rest in peace.

As a past pupil I thought of Tomás, many times. He brought our class up Cuilcagh and back safely.
On reaching the top the weather changed, we could not see 5ft. in any direction. He just accepted the challenge with a smile.
May he rest in peace.
