TOM KINAHAN

Condolences & Memories (23 entries)

• Good afternoon, I was thinking about my old friend Tom today. He was a former teacher of mine and great person. I first met Tom some 37 years ago give or take. He used to drive us home or just to run to do an errand, I can never forget his green Volvo, how he would say it’s a great vehicle lol. One day we stopped at the LC on Main Street, we waited for him in the car and said to ourselves Tom is cool, but when he came back empty handed we asked where’s the booze, Tom replied easy boys I just wanted to say hello to my brother. Then he went back to being not too cool again! My last time seeing Tom is a long time ago when I was a very young man, I stopped in at Western Glove to say hello, as soon as he looked at me his smile said it all, it’s ironic because I have visited the building many times in the last few years doing volunteer work for Siloam Mission. I don’t know why I looked up his name today? But it’s with a sad heart that I found out about his passing. Even after all the years that went by, the memories of a great, kind person left a huge influence on me. My deepest condolences to the family, Tom and the work he did for a couple of Inner City kids will always be remembered.

• My sympathy to Kath & Tom and Tom K's family - Posted by: Gary DeLuca (cousin) on: Mar 16, 2016

• Our sincerest condolences to Beverly and to all of Tom's family. Our family has been doing business with Tom for over 30 years. He was always respectful and professional. He never ever pushed us to buy more or frowned on us if we bought less. He was a smart man. He always answered our emails. He was never too busy to talk to us on the phone and he would let us know if something was doing really well so we could get in on it. We couldn't help but get excited, too, He was really a kind and caring man! He will be forever in our hearts. We will miss you dearly, Tom. - Posted by: Brent and Vivian Mund (friend) on: Mar 12, 2016

• Needless to say the news of Toms passing came as a great shock. Tom was a real pleasure to run into on the road as he and I would always have a great conversation. Toms outlook was always relaxed and he had a calming effect through his attitude. As it turned out his son Zack and my son Andrew got to know each other growing up. My wishes go out to the entire family. - Posted by: Patrick LaMonica (Friend) on: Mar 08, 2016

• I am so saddened to hear of Tom's passing. He will be deeply missed. I just saw him a few weeks ago and of course greeted me with a smile and hug. We laughed and joked as we always had.

Tom was one of kind, a very special guy to everyone. - Posted by: Pamela Ammeter (Former Collegue) on: Mar 08, 2016

• My condolences to Beverly, Zack, Samara & Quin. I'm truly gutted hearing of Tom's sudden passing away. Last met Tom some weeks back as he was going through airport screening...he would always greet me with a good ol' hug rather than a handshake. R.I.P my friend. Your good friend Ranj or as you would say ranjarooni.... - Posted by: ranjit rai (friend/former co worker) on: Mar 07, 2016

• When Zack was young he and my son Mac played soccer together. On several occasions Tom stepped in to help coach. Knowing not much about soccer, Tom's ability to inspire the team with his "let's have some fun" words of encouragement was amazing. Tom always insisted that a pre game martini made the difference. Tom, thanks, that was too much fun. - Posted by: Warren Mills (Friend) on: Mar 07, 2016

• Our condolences to the entire family. We didn't know Tom but based on his daughter he must have been very special and it is our loss that time didn't allow for us to meet him. We have known Samara for a number of years now - watching her become a beautiful and thoughtful young woman who adores her family. We will help Samara celebrate his life now and in the future....never forgotten. Our love and endless hugs from Michael, Brenda, Andy, Spencer, Ashley and Mac - Posted by: Brenda and Michael Bacon (Samara's boyfriend Jordan's parents) on: Mar 07, 2016

• I have had the honour of working with Tom for the past 12 years. I will miss his laugh and warm smile! As a Silver jean rep Tom was very passionate about the line and would make you love it as much as he did at the end of the viewing. I will miss him dearly and feel sorry for the next person that has to fill his shoes...he was the best! Good bye for now my friend. Valerie - Posted by: Valerie Bowden (Friend) on: Mar 07, 2016

• I was very, very sorry to learn of Tom's death. Although I did not know him well, I remember Tom from our childrens' days at Queenston School. He and Andrea gave us music for the Spring Carnivals. Let me extend my heartfelt condolences and prayers to you all. - Posted by: Barbara Coombs (Queenston school parent) on: Mar 06, 2016

• I was doing personal training with Beverly in hers and Tom's home. I would come every Friday. And Tom would invite me to stay for happy hour. He made the best martinis I ever had. He was so generous and warm. He would be cooking the dinner and having a great time and there's always people over and I was so comfortable and he was so gracious. He just seems to take everything in stride. He was an awesome dad I saw him with his son and he was a great husband to Beverly. He will be so missed. - Posted by: Maureen Black (Beverly's friend and then his. ) on: Mar 05, 2016

• Tom was one of a kind; my daughter and I will miss him immensely. I'll always remember his laugh, even when I would be in my house next door I could hear him laughing and it always put a smile on my face. I miss our after-work 5 pm chats on his deck; with him drinking a martini of course. I especially miss our chats through his kitchen window; mostly consisting of me asking what he was making for dinner that night! Tom was a great listener and a true friend. All our love and condolences to Beverly, Quinn, Zack, Samara and the entire Kinahan family. - Posted by: Paula Chorney (Friend and neighbour) on: Mar 05, 2016
