Remembering the life of

Thomas (Tom) O’ Meara

Pickardstown, Tramore, Waterford

Family and friends remember Tom O’Meara as a true gentleman whose warmth and generosity enriched every corner of the farming and sporting communities. Whether swapping stories over a cup of tea after a day’s work, reminiscing about Erin’s Own hurling triumphs, or helping neighbours bale and wrap silage on long summer evenings, Tom’s steady presence and ready smile made him a cherished companion and confidant. His thoughtful conversations and gentle humour left a lasting impression on all who met him.

At home, Tom’s devotion to family was unwavering. A loving brother to Tony, Seamus, and Celia, and a proud great-uncle to Ella, Dara, and Leon, he took joy in every gathering, offering encouragement, support, and the comfort of his steady faith. Tom’s legacy of kindness, loyalty, and community spirit will continue to inspire his extended family, friends, and neighbours.
