‘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.

Tommie Gorman: May his memory be a blessing.

Sincere condolences, may he Rest In Eternal Peace.

My deepest sympathies to Tommies wife, son, daughter and extended family on his very sad passing. He was a great journalist who over the years brought important stories and commentary into our lives. We watched his funeral yesterday crying and laughing in equal measure at his sons words...and in awe of his beautiful wife singing. May god be with you all in the coming weeks and months.
Sleep sound now Tommie..your voice will be missed throughout Eire. Thank you for all your years of service to us.

Beautiful memories of Tommies lovely voice in the living room of my late mother as he reported on current affairs
He , like she , has gone to his eternal reward
Our country mourns you
Sincere sympathy to the
family who no doubt feel immense loss
Rest in peace dearest Tommie , a national treasure gone but not forgotten

Sending my condolence to Tommie’s wife and family.
Met Tommie when on duty with AGS at Islandbridge, during Queen Elizabeth visit to Ireland. A much respectful, engaging person. May he rest in Peace.

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.

Heartfelt sympathy to all tommies family.what a wonderful journalist with a fantastic personality.gone before his time.may he rest in heavenly peace.

My condolences to Tommie’s family and friends. I had reason a few years ago to need the expertise of a medic Tommie mentioned in some writing. Tommie’s writing reassured me I was in good hands. And his service to journalism was first rate.

Deepest sympathies to Tommie's family on a man who served his country, town and journalism so well and who passed too soon.

My condolences to Ceara, Moya, Joe, Mary, Michael and to the extended Gorman, Roche and Creed families on the death of Tommie. A superb journalist and an excellent ambassador for Sligo and Ireland, Tommie had a great interest in people and always made time to stop and chat. May the happy memories of the time spent with Tommie console you in your grief and bring you solace in the days ahead. Suaimhneas síoraí dá anam uasal dílis. Ní bheidh a leithéid arís ann.

Beautiful countenance gone too soon 🌻.

Condolences to Tommy's family may he rest in peace

Sincere sympathy to Ceara, Moya and Joe and the extended Gorman family on the sad passing of Tommie.
We still have nice memories of Tommie launching the Leitrim Guardian back in 2003.
God be good to him and may he rest in peace.

Sincere sympathy to the Gorman family on the passing of Tommie. He always captured my attention as soon as I heard his voice a special gift he had.
Rest In Peace Tommie.

Often listening to complex political events particularly around the Good Friday agreement I would think bring in Tommie he will explain it to me in layman’s language. So he did, day after day . Thank you Tommie you did Ireland some service. RIP

God rest your soul and absolute gentleman

To Ceara, Moyà, Joe & extended Family
Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your talented husband & Father Tommy. R.I.P.

Sincere condolences to Joe and all the Gorman family. RIP

Sincere condolences to all the Gorman family. Tommie will be sadly missed by my family, home and away. May he rest in peace. From all the Gallens

Sincere sympathy to the Gorman family on the sad passing of Tommie. Tommie's unparalleled and balanced reporting of the Troubles and the peace process will be acknowledged by all those on both sides of the divide. Ireland has lost a wonderful journalist. May he rest in peace

Deepest sympathy to Tommie’s brother Michael, sister Mary, wife Ceara, daughter Moya, son Joe and all the family on Tommie’s passing. Many happy memories of our childhood days with all the Gorman family, our next door neighbours on Cairns Road until we moved to Dublin in the early 70s. The last time the O’Donnell and Gorman families got together, thanks to Tommy contacting everyone, was in 2019 at the Hawk's Well, Sligo for the launch of Fifty Poems by his brother Michael Gorman. Unfortunately, as Covid was still with us, many of the family missed the launch of Tommy’s book ‘Never Better - My life in Our Times" in Trinity College, Dublin in which our Dad gets an honourable mention in the opening pages. Rest in peace Tommy, you will be for ever remembered.

Sincere sympathy to Tommies family and friends on his sad passing. His funeral mass was so special, very fitting for the man he was. Joes eulogy was outstanding. I'm sure his dad would be very proud of him. " A life that touches others goes on forever". May the Light of Heaven shine brightly on his gentle soul.

I will always remember how upset my mum was when she told me of Tommies diagnosis and him travelling abroad for treatment when I was 13 years old . We all respected and loved him so much! I grew up living close to Roy Keane (in the parks) and i loved Tommies interview with Roy ! It was fabulous. Rest in Peace Tommie. A true GENTLEMAN XXX

Sincere sympathies to all of you on the loss of your beloved Tommie. I had the pleasure of hearing him at the writers festival in Lismore 2 weeks ago. I was shocked to hear of his sudden death. I greatly admired him as a broadcaster but his humanity and zest for life despite ongoing illness endeared him greatly to me that day. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers in the weeks ahead. May he rest in peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of Tommie. While the nation will feel his loss, it will be nothing in comparison to the gaping hole that will be left in your family. He would be so proud of all you in how you conducted yourselves for his funeral. Joe your eulogy was excellent from the words to how it was delivered.

Sincere sympathy to the Gorman family on the sad passing of Tommy, May he rest in peace.
We remember Tommy from our times attending the ‘hops’ in Summerhill college. He was a gentleman then & continued to be a gentleman throughout his life, always had a smile and a greeting for everyone.
Thinking of you all at this very difficult time.

Sincere sympathy to Mary, Michael, Ceara, Joe & Moya on the passing of Tommy. May his gentle soul rest in peace.

What a wonderful man. I never forget how kind Tommie was to our Family when my Dad passed away in 2011. My deepest sympathies.

Deepest sympathy to Tommie’s dearest Ceara, Moya and Joe on your loss. Tommie was surely a unique man and a true public servant, with many talents including connection and friendship, along with a huge commitment to peace. He packed so much good into his too-short life. It was a privilege to know him and in common with thousands of others I will miss him. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dhílis.
