A sad day. My grandad bought us all his records which we so enjoyed.

Yes, it is sad news.

I used to enjoy watching him on 'Name that Tune'.

He always struck me as being a genuinely nice person.

Very sad indeed. I worked in a nightclub at weekends near Goodson Park for a few months in 1974 and I remember him appearing on there once. R.I.P Tom O’Connor - one of the great comedians.

I enjoyed Tom’s quiz Crosswits which featured cryptic crossword clues. I like cryptic crosswords and it was a very entertaining quiz. RIP, Tom.

RIP Tom O'Connor. He was a familiar face on TV when I was young.
