He is also survived by sisters-in-law, Rita (Erick) and Shirl (Lionel); cousins, Jean, Kay and Ruthie; as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

He served his country during the Second World War in the RCAF from 1941 to 1945 as an air frame mechanic. Tom was a talented cabinet maker and worked for over 30 years at Bristol Aerospace. He married his beloved I in 1945 after the war ended and they were blessed to spend almost 62 wonderful years together. Tom and Irene loved to travel. There are many memories of family vacations together and in their retirement, Tom and Irene enjoyed some wonderful cruises. Tom was so proud of his family and loved it when we could all share special times together. He loved us all so much and we will miss his keen sense of humour, his frequent reminiscences, his strong sense of values and his incredible love of family. Interment has already taken place.
