Sharon, Saphra's and mine heart go out to you and your family. The best memory I have of your Dad (Tom) is the Christmas your Mom and Dad came to Baba's and Baba gave John and you the annual Christmas present. I will never forget the look on his face when Baba gave potatoes as your gift and the laughter we had with them that Christmas. Treasure the memories of your Dad.

I am a good friend of Sharon's and I met Tom on trip back from Minnesota. I had dropped my daughter off to go to college in Duluth and it was kinda a sad time for me Sharon was so kind to meet up with me in Winnipeg and drive home with me. We stayed over night at Tom's before heading to Edmonton and I don't think I ever met a kinder man. That's why I guess Sharon is also such a kind person. Remember that no one can ever take away the memories. Bonnie - Posted by: Bonnie Sales (Friend) on: Mar 30, 2014

We only met Tom a few short years ago and immediately became friends at the Legion. What a wonderful and friendly man he was to us. Our deepest and sincere condolences to Tom's family. We are out of town for the Service but our hearts are with you. - Posted by: Russ Lelliott & Michelle Trudeau (Friends) on: Mar 27, 2014
