Tom Wall – RIP
It is with great sadness that the Claregalway GAA Club and the Community of Claregalway heard of
the death of Tom Wall in the past week.
Tom was born in Cahergowan, Claregalway in 1935 and grew up in a hurling family. He was known
as a very skillful and speedy hurler and was frequently the last man to leave Hessions Field, which
was the club’s pitch in that era.
Tom was the last surviving member of the Claregalway Hurling Team which won the County Junior
Hurling title in 1952, defeating Eyrecourt in the final.
Tom works all his career in the Post office in Galway City, he is also fondly remembered for the
great service he provided to the Credit Union in Mervue over the years. When Tom married, he
moved to Renmore, there he became involved in the local GAA and was a leading figure in early
development of the club. Tom was also a prominent referee at both club and school levels in Galway
city and county. His passion for the GAA continued up to his final days with a love for following the
games and results of all of the club matches.
Tom is predeceased by his Late Wife Maureen, brother Martin, sisters Sarah and Mary, son-in-law
Liam Glynn and granddaughter Anna and will be sadly missed by his daughters Anne and Miriam,
sons Michael and Joseph, daughter-in-law Maura Daly, son-in-law Seán Dunleavy, grandchildren
Cáit, Moya, Ailbhe, Isobel, Emily, Katelyn, Grace, Daisey, Harry and Louis, sister Margaret, brother
Harry, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and a wide circle of friends.
