Condolence From: Ron
Condolence: Though I never joined ROTC in high school in the 80's - I would always get the sense of what a great man he was & was probably the best role model & teacher - zll just by passing him in the hallways & hearing bits of conversation between himself & students. I also got the sense that the cadets connected to him at a high level & that he was probably their greatest & best influence in school & in life. I went on to become a U.S. Naval Aircrewman & from time to time would be wondering how he was doing. My jaw dropped in surprise when I moved back to Brick in 2013 to see that he was still there still teaching & positively influencing young men & women just like he did in the 80's. RIP Master Sergeant.

Condolence: Sarge! The positive impact you made on countless young men and women can't ever be quantified in human words. You and Major Franco were a dream team of teachers/mentors that all of us who know you were blessed to have in our lives. RIP brother and thanks for all your dedication and hard work. You are sorely missed.

Condolence: MSgt Tierney was a true American patriot, friend, father figure and mentor to myself and countless other individuals. I wish I had gotten to visit with him one more time, there are so many things I wish I could say but all I can do is offer my condolences to his family and wish you guys the best. I know this is a naval phrase but from a guy who joined because of him, Fair winds and following seas.

Condolence: MSgt Tierney was a great man, teacher and Airman. He gave all his students his full efforts and attention. He gave us so much hope and belief in ourselves. He personally made me believe in myself and inspired me in ways he could never have known. As a 20 year Air Force member, his lessons are with me every day in the way I mentor young folks and the way I try to uplift them. He undoubtedly is the greatest man to wear the uniform.
I have been meaning to see him for a while but with deployment schedules and work, I kept on telling myself next time. I just learned of his passing by looking him up on the internet to see if he was still at the school. I sincerely apologize to his family for not knowing of his ailment or his passing.

Sir, you have touched thousands upon thousands of lives. You will be missed. Godspeed. I hope you know you were a success with me, a kid who most thought worthless. I thank you for your inspiration. I will miss you and the times we shared.

Condolence: MSG Tierney, I will forever be grateful for knowing you from my freshman year till my senior one, as a cadet in JROTC. You changed my life in so many ways for the better.. From when I first told you of my Army enlistment till we reconnected after my career came to a close. You always inspired me to be the best "me" I could be. Always were there for me in high school as well as years beyond. Was truly a gift to have known you. You made such a lasting positive impact on my life. I can never thank you enough for all you did for me. This one hurts. I will remember you always! REST EASY! Prayers n sympathy to the entire Tierney Family.. Thank you for sharing this amazing man.

Condolence: My deepest condolences to the Tierney family and to all of those who cared for MSgt. James Tierney. I first met Sgt. Tierney as a 14 year old freshmen in the AFJROTC program in 1992. I will always remember him silently creeping up on us at the Fort Dix BIVOUAC, the trip the two of us took to Lakehurst Naval Station to shop for my aviation headset (courtesy of the USAF ATC!), and the sergeant accidentally setting off the barracks alarm trying to stop a false smoke alarm at 00:30 hours, causing both the bas MP's and the fire department to arrive and clear the building! (not the sergeant's fault.) It was his kindness, his leadership, and his love for the cadets in the AFJROTC program that helped shape me into the husband, father, and man i am today. And for that, i will aways be grateful and thankful to him. Good speed, sergeant.
