Poor Tommy, sorry to hear that. I happened to think of him yesterday and wondered how he was doing.

I spend a good bit of time with him over the years, a true gentleman.

Very sorrow to hear of his passing. I never met him and dont know too much about him.Apart from being a piper was he involved in the piping world in other ways?

Apart from being a piper was he involved in the piping world in other ways?

He taught quite a lot of pipers from the South East (Waterford, Wexford, Kilkenny), including Jimmy O'Brien-Moran and David Power, to mention but two.
