Just a note from Knocknagoshel, Ireland to convey my deepest sympathy to all Riordans on the passing of Tom who was always a great neighbour and friend.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. Bridie, my heart aches for you and your family. I am comforted by the glorious memories of your beloved Tom. His laughter was contagious; his attitude on life far exceeding "195%" and an appetite that still has me baffled...and passed down to his sons! God Bless you all and thank you for sharing Tom with all of us.

Dear Riordan Family - we are so sorry that we were out of town and missed the Tom's funeral.

He was a class act, a great Chief and bought many tickets from Ryan's Travel.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Tommy Ryan and Mary Pat

If heaven had a number we'd call you on the phone to say how much we need you and beg you to come home, We shared so much together, laughter, joy and tears. For us that thought the world of you, they were our happiest years. So rest in heaven now for all that you have done, we trust that God has given you the crown you've truly won ! Miss you, JJ

I didnt know Mr. Riordan but my father,Mike Sullivan was also a Castleisland engineer as were his brothers Andy, Jack and Denny.I know if they were alive today they would be in full force to give a fellow Kerryman man a wonderful sendoff. I feel the need to represent my father and uncles as i feel an obligation to my Irish heritage and fellow 399 brothers. The riordan family will be in my prayers and God bless you all, Thomas K.Sullivan

Dear Bridie and Family,

My deepest condolences on Tom's passing, may he rest in peace. I was unable to attend his wake, but know that you and your family are in my prayers.

Crossing the Bar

Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.

Dear Bridie and the Riordan Boys,

I am so very sorry for your loss, Tom was a very sweet and kind man and this world is a bit bleaker and darker without him in it. My prayers go out to your dear husband and father as well as to all of you.

God Bless!

Kevin, Patrick and Riordan Family,

Our prayers go out to your father. Please know he is in a better place. We'll pray for him at the Ancient Order of Hibernians meeting.
