Mr. Sidebottom was a regular customer for years at the Louis Riel Public Library. Although we have not seen him in the last while because of his health issues, we will miss his friendly presence at the library. - Posted by: Crystal Mitchell (library employee) on: Dec 13, 2016

We will certainly miss such a fine gentleman. In all the years I, Harry Rosenbaum, have been aquainted with Tom, (34 years) I had never heard an untoward comment ever made about him nor by him about any other. God knows that is not a feat people can usually be blessed to admit to. He had always been a confidant of mine and when issues arose, which would break certain individuals, one could always rely on the fact that Tom would be the guiding star. I and my wife, Hope, always felt that Tom was a substitute as a parent, if one can imagine that. His smile was like a reminder of the good things to come. Lady Arla, we certainly cannot imagine the pain & suffering the 2 of you endured during this dark time & wish you peace and comfort henceforth. - Posted by: Harry & Hope Rosenbaum (Friends ) on: Dec 10, 2016

I knew him as "Mr. Sidebottom" and as a great and long time friend of my parents, Bob and Rae Spear. My dad was especially close to Tom as they were kindred spirits for sure. Tom introduced my dad to many little out of the way restaurants and watering holes in Winnipeg and dad always came back with entertaining tales of their outings. He will be greatly missed I know and I offer my condolences to the family. - Posted by: Catherine Moss (friend of the family) on: Dec 10, 2016
