‘Up Mayo’ was the greeting he shouted on seeing our Mayo Reg, arriving at a campsite in the Loire on a sunny June afternoon. We were about to make the acquaintance of Tommie, Ceara, Moya and Joe.
What a wonderful week we enjoyed that year and for a few years following , in their company.

We will forever associate you with our summer holidays .
We feel privileged that our chance meeting in the Loire resulted in a lasting treasured friendship.

Enjoy the sunshine of heaven Tommie. You deserve it.

Sincere sympathy to the family of Tommie Gorman on his passing. I would like to add my appreciation of his most compassionate assistance to the families of three young men who were murdered in The Hague in 2000. I was working in the Irish Embassy in The Hague at that time and Tommie was covering the awful tragedy of the deaths of the brothers Vincent and Morgan Costello and Damien Monahan. Tommie organised the speeches for the mothers to read out on television, he managed the filming of the mothers and families at a mass for the victims, and he showed them such sympathy and support that I could see it was a great help to them at an awful time in their lives. He was more than a journalist at that time, he was a man who was genuinely involved with the life situations that he covered.
