Tom with his sister, Evelyn: 2005
It is with sadness that I report the passing of Thomas Ruane, who died peacefully in the Mayo General Hospital on January 16, 2012. I had the good fortune to meet and talk with Tom on my visits to Ireland in the last decade. When I last saw Tom in 2008, he was too ill to attend the Mullen Family Reunion in Ballina. Marilynn and I visited him in the hospital, though, and he was in great spirits and eager to be released. We had an excellent visit with him and his sons. He will be missed by all who knew him.
