Thomas who was a builder by trade and was at hand to help everyone. Thomas was a keen supporter of football and especially his home team Illies Celtic. A devoted husband and loving father he died as he lived, a true gentleman. The high esteem in which Thomas and his family were held was manifested by one of the largest funerals seen in the parish which took place in St. Mary's Church, Bocan where Requiem Mass was celebrated by Fr. Joseph Morris, Bocan who also officiated at the graveside in the adjoining cemetery. Deepest sympathy is extended to his wife Carmel and his four children Martin, Helen, James and Declan; his mother Bridie; his brothers Andy and Sean; his sisters Rosemary McClure, Kathleen Devlin; all his in-laws, nephews and nieces and relations in the family circle. God grant his soul eternal rest.
