Tommy was  a well known and respected  farmer.  He loved his animals and  the land and always enjoyed his  visits to Balla Mart.  He looked forward to meeting his friends on a Saturday evening  in Johnny McHale's.   The  highlight of his year were the holidays spent with Kathleen in Spain, Portugal and further a field,  where they listened to and danced to their favourite  Country and  Western entertainers.  Tommy   loved travelling and he and Kathleen  visited many countries including Australia.  He  tuned in daily to MWR and enjoyed the jokes and laughs with Paul and Gerry as  well as Tommy Marren's show and he never missed a Michael Commin's show often  listening to him late into the night.  Tommy will be sadly missed by his many friends and the people he came into contact with at home and abroad.

Tommy will repose at his home on Tuesday  14th December from 5pm until 7pm.  Removal from his home on Wednesday to St. Patrick's Church,  Islandeady, arriving for Funeral Mass at 2pm.  Afterwards Tommy will be laid to rest with his parents in Islandeady Cemetery.          House private until 1pm  on Tuesday.  Covid 19 regulations will apply - no handshaking and face masks must be worn.
