The day you married dawn was the luckiest day for us, as we gained a wonderful brother Inlaw and son in law into our family.
Tom was a big character and we had many laughs with his singing, playing his guitar and getting his mother In law drunk.

Gone far too soon. Nosh was more
than a friend – he was a brother in
every sense. We liked singing, we
liked drinking, and we shared some
unforgettable times together. His
laugh could fill a room, his voice
could carry a tune and a story, and his
presence made everything feel a bit
more alive,
We’ll raise a glass in your honour,
Nosh. Wherever you are, I hope the
nusic’s loud and the JDs are large
Rest easy, mate. You’ll be missed
more than words can say
Ask anything

Sincere condolences to the Mullins family on the sad passing of Thomas. May his gentle soul Rest in Peace.
A very special man departed this earth today. We will miss him so much. He was such a lovely man. He could have a party in a room on his own. He was absolutely infectious and brought joy and happiness to all around him. We loved him dearly, he is a great loss to all who knew him. Its a very sad day. Rest in peace my friend. Grattan and Maria
Dear Dawn, Tommy, Lucy and Family,
I was so sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him at Kentec and I’ll always remember how he brought humor and warmth into the room. He had such a gift for storytelling—especially those hilarious stories from his younger days. His ability to make people laugh was something special, and it’s something I’ll always remember fondly and his singing.
Please accept my deepest condolences. I hope you find comfort in knowing how much he was appreciated and how many people have warm memories of him.
With heartfelt sympathy,
Debbie and Paul xx
I have just found out of dear Tom’s passing and I can’t believe it. Tom and Dawn were our neighbours in Bromley London and we got the best neighbours when we moved next to them xx
We have great memories the ones of New Year’s Eve Irish dancing in their kitchen and when we got married. We will always have these great memories of Tom such a lovely lovely man may you rest in peace dear Tom you will be missed god bless you ❤️☘️
Thank you for being a great neighbour and for the fun times. Out deepest sympathies to Dawn Tommy and Lucy 🙏

Dear Dawn, Tommy, Lucy and family,
Sending our deepest condolences to you and your family on the sad loss of Tom.
Thomas, words cannot express the hole you have left in our family and in so many people’s hearts. You were an exceptional person with the ability to lift the spirits of any room you entered. I don’t think there is a person who you met and didn’t fall in love with your charm and zest for life. I have been so incredibly fortunate to be your niece. My life has been filled with such beautiful memories because of you. You were more than an uncle to your nieces and nephews, you made us feel like one of your own. We were welcome at your home any time of day or night – nothing seemed to phase you. Every one of us were so excited to go to Tom and Dawn’s house, watch films with you both, listen to music or see the latest gadgets you had found! Being in your company was always time well spent. I have cherished memories of staying with you and Dawn, cooking spaghetti Vongole, you turning up on our doorstep first thing Christmas morning, driving round to show us your new cars and all the summers in your garden at Parkfield Way. What we would all give to go back and hear you sing one more time or for you to walk into the room with your arms outstretched saying your classic ‘Hey!’ None of us are ready to say goodbye, but sadly we do. Love you so much, Uncle Tom. I hope that you’re somewhere that doesn’t mind the music turned up loud and the sun is always shining. Until we meet again… xxx
My Lovely Uncle Thomas or as I loved to call you “Big T”
I don’t know how to express how truly blessed I am to of had such a special Uncle. You were such a positive force of nature and loved life, music and your family endlessly. Every song I know is because of you, you was a musical Wikipedia. I will miss your sense of humour and will cherish all the laughs we had as a family. You really were so special and dear to anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting you.
I know this is not goodbye, just see you later. I hope you’re up there having a JD, music playing and singing in the sunshine.
Love you always and forever
Uncle Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him; he will always be the sunshine in our family. We are grateful that he leaves us with the happiest memories; we will remember him together with love.
We will hear Thomas in every song, and heaven’s own music will be louder and sweeter with his passing.
Stephen & Miles
In loving memory of Tom mullins a true gentle man and a great neighbour. One of the best
May his gentle soul rest in peace .
Sadly missed by his wife Dawn Tommy Lucy family
To Thomas
What a belter of a bloke you was always the life and soul of the party! The party won’t be the same without you playing the spoons after a few too many JD and cokes. The best time was when we all went to the caravan and you had a royal legion club full of 80/90 year olds rocking the joint will remember that forever. Hope there’s plenty of JD and unlimited jukebox playlists for you up there.
Rest well
Alex
Deepest sympathy to the Mullins family and his mother Mary. May Thomas RIP
Dear Dawn, Tommy and Lucy, I was totally heart broken when I heard the sad news and I wanted to say that Tom was a very very special person and one of the nicest men I’ve ever met, thanks for all our car chats and the amazing party’s which I’ll never forget.
Rest in peace
All my love

So sad, thinking of you all, love Aunt Mabs
Dearest Dawn, tommy, lucy and all toms family.
A national treasure is our Thomas. Never a dull moment with you around and anyone who reads this will know what I’m talking about.
We will forever speak your name and smile because you gave us all so many wonderful memories. You loved life and we loved you for that. Nothing was ever too much trouble, from the outdoor cinemas on the gable end of your house for the kids to our crazy camping trip in Kerry. Dawn, this will forever be a fond memory for us with you and Thomas and my goodness didn’t we laugh a lot. The mould was broke when they made you Thomas. There is not another human out there like you. You have a personality as big as the universe and I hope the good man above is ready for a whole new routine.
You will forever be in our thoughts ❤️🙏. Rest in peace kiddo
Dear Dawn, Tommy, Lucy , Mary, Rosie, Katherine
My deepest condolences. Just heard the sad news this weekend :( . Tom will be deeply missed.
We shared some incredible moments together. When I was younger, he was so kind to me taking me in like a bird sheltering her young under her wings. He loved to party hard, and would never stop singing which was his passion.
I will be doing my best to make it to the funeral, only found out this Sunday.
May he rest in peace and my love goes out to the family.
Warm regards
Lawrence, Nagisa and Jasmine

Sending condolences and all my love to you all. I worked with Tom for many years. He was such a great guy. Always put a smile on my face. Took far to young, will always remember you Tom. You were one of a kind. ❤️💔
Dear Dawn, Tommy, Lucy and all the family.

Always cheerful and good to be around with, Tom will be missed much by all who knew him.
Sorry we didn’t win the music quiz at Allington Tom.
Lots of love

Uncle Tom will be sadly missed by all who knew him; he will always be the sunshine in our family. We are grateful that he leaves us with the happiest memories, we will remember him together with love always.
We will hear Thomas in every song, and heaven’s own music will be louder and sweeter with his passing.

So sad to hear of Toms passing ,sympathies and condolences to all Toms family and friends I have fond memories of working with Tom when he was in London and also being a friend He will be sadly missed and I will always remember he could bring a smile to everybody’s face. RIP Tom
Thomas, you were the best extra uncle I could’ve asked for, and brought so much joy, music and laughter to me growing up. I loved nothing more than hearing you sing and being danced around the living room in the early hours, nagging you to play my favourite song next. I wouldn’t have the love for the breadth of music I do now without you, or have so many fond memories to look back on. Will miss you forever and hope you’re resting well up there with music blaring and a drink in hand. Kirst 💚
Oh Tommy was an honour and privilege to have had you as a friend you knew every lyric to every song and I will always remember us singing together you really was a special man our thoughts are with Dawn and Lucy and little Tommy God bless and may you rest in peace we will never forget you love always Teresa and Dave ❤️❤️❤️Xxx
My darling uncle Thomas, rest in eternal peace.
I feel so lucky to have have had you in mine and the kids lives as our uncle, a truly one in a million person.
The kids would ask me every Friday night after work and school “Can we go to Tom and Dawns for a party?”. I’m so happy they got to experience all the fun I did as a kid with you. I was always so excited when you and Dawn would ask if we could come down for the weekend. You and dawn looked after us as kids, getting us pizzas or a raging hot curry, getting all the CDs out, playing badminton in the garden, and getting anyone round for a drink you could persuade. You brought us so much fun and laughter, an unmatched knowledge and love of music, and a love of life that I am eternally grateful for.
You loved your movies, gadgets, conspiracy theories and stories of the afterlife, and your passion in the things you loved shone through and we enjoyed it all with you. We had so many philosophical conversations sat round the dining table after one too many JDs.
I will forever carry the memories of every Mullins family smash up, the songs, all the dances you dragged me up for, all the times you roared a song down my ears and left them ringing. No one could ever say no to a drink and dance with you.
Yours and Dawns love is something I always admired. You were absolutely made for each other, and I loved to be around you both having fun together. Tommy and Lucy were so lucky to have you as their daddy, and your spirit lives on in them. I will try my best to always be there for them all.
Gone from this world far too soon, but never to be forgotten. You will live on in the memories we all shared until we meet again.
I love you forever.
Toni-Ann
Our sincere condolences to dawn Tommy Lucy and Tom’s mother and sisters on his passing..tom you were a gentleman and a great addition to the neighbour hood you brought so much joy to it and to everyone you met so many good memories and laughs I hope you are dancing and singing up there rip 🙏🙏
Dear Dawn, Tommy, Lucy and all the family.
I have just found out of dear Tom’s passing and I can’t believe it. All of these messages are so very poignant and have captured Tom’s amazing personality. I knew Tom since the age of 8, when he had his Yellow BSA racer bike in Bermondsey, one of my first memories of him and how friendly Tom was at a young age, as my brothers school mate. As so many have said, Tom was in his element singing his favourite songs, and in his own words “I had to move from England to sing like a Irish man”.. I’ll always remember the parties after the 1990 world cup in Bermondsey, at Tom & Dawns then travelling to Gatwick airport to go on holiday, only to find out I had left my passport in Toms car, while Larry was driving off into the Gatwick sunrise..
Gone far to soon, Tom. Rest in Peace XXXXX
To my brother Tom.
Taken away to soon.
I am sure your up there with all those who have gone before, getting the party ready.
Best news is the bar is now free!
Lots of memories and good timed we all shared.
I think this is what best describes you.
T the party starter
H happy to see us any time
O optimistic to a fault
M mad about music
A as he would say “absolutely “and “fabulous ”
S singers of songs
Till we join you at the party.
You will be sorely missed.
We will love you alway.

Growing up Thomas & Dawn would always have an open door for us to come in. I remember the time Thomas came home from work one evening and introduced myself to Salt & Chilli chicken for the first time ever, which has now famously become “F7 and chips”. Thomas you were always a kind, charismatic & funny person to be around. I am grateful to have known you growing up as a kid. I send my deepest condolences to the entire family. My thoughts and love goes to Dawn, Lucy and one of my dearest friends on the planet Tommy.
May you rest well Thomas, have a drink or several for us all and continue to sing until your heart is content.
Lots of love, Harry Bristow xx
God bless you Thomas, you were one of a kind, I have such great memories of you and Dawn at Rose and Reggies through my childhood, always laughing and enjoying life. A life taken from your beautiful family way too soon.
May god bless you Dawn, Tommy, Lucy, nanny Mary and all the family xx
To Thomas,
Growing up with Emma & Laura I always felt like you were my Uncle too! I’ll never forget all the fun party’s – and when those spoons would come out!
Mainly I will always remember your singing and what a music expert you was – you knew all the words to all the songs! I’ll treasure the memories of watching you & my dad sing together – especially a few Christmases ago when you, Dawn, Tommy & Lucy rocked up on Christmas night and we were singing on the karaoke until the wee hours.
You were such a special person and I feel so lucky that I knew you.
Rest in peace Thomas – I hope you’re enjoying a nice cold JD up there. Love Gemma ❤️
You just have to look at the out pouring of grief and the great stories everyone is sharing to see what a giant hole you are leaving behind Thomas! Rest easy, May the JD’s be bottomless and the music loud.
My love to Dawn, Tommy, Lucy and all the family xx
Rest in peace dear Tom. What a great bloke. Such a laugh & quite often a torment. Always fun to be around. Gone too soon. My thoughts & prayers to Dawn Tommy & Lucy xxx 🥰
We are so sad to hear of Toms passing and send all our love and condolences to all the family. We will raise a glass and think of him singing all the way to heaven
Love
Sue and Barry (Bumper)
Hey man,
I never thought that I would be here sitting at work writing this.
You were more than just a boss—you were a mentor, a confidant, and a friend. Your leadership was inspiring, your wit brought smiles during long days, loads of stories new and old and your genuine care made us feel seen and supported. The workplace will certainly not be the same without you.
I’ll always cherish the moments we shared, the guidance you provided, and the laughter that echoed through the office.
You’ve left an indelible mark on our hearts and in our careers and I hope to do you proud moving forwards.
You’ll be deeply missed, but fondly remembered.
Thoughts are with Dawn, Tommy & Lucy xXx

It’s hard to put into words how incredibly grateful and lucky I feel to have been invited in to meet and spend time with Thomas, Dawn, Tommy and Lucy, in the weeks before Thomas passed.
But in that time, he immediately and always made me feel comfortable and I could see clearly what a kind, funny (made me laugh a lot) and characteristic man he was and always had been.
I know he will be deeply deeply missed by all that knew him, myself included ❤️
My heart and much love goes out to Dawn, Tommy, Lucy, their Nanny Mary and all the family ❤️
