Tommy was a familiar sight at Knock Shrine for a long number of years. He made many friends and it was a pleasure to have known and worked with him there. He was very dedicated to his work, helping the Sick, elderly and those with special needs and he was also a great support for the pilgrims.
He will long be remembered and greatly missed around the Shrine.
He was a man of faith with a lovely smile for everyone, gentle and caring.
We are certain that Our Lady of Kmock will take good care of him now in her Heavenly Home and ensure that he will enjoy peace and happiness in that realm of the saints.
