I remember doing a course with him on the folklore of east mayo in 2002 in community centre in Mayo Abbey where we all collected such wonderful valuable history from older people with great memories and it’s all up in Dept of folklore in UCD Dublin for all to read. We all had such fun and formed great friendships. Tom was an amazing character with a warm smile and great sense of humor. May he rest in peace with the angels in heaven amen.,🙏🙏🙏🙏
