  • I only knew Tom as a neighbour who lived across from me but almost most mornings he would greet me as he left to visit his wife. He was always very friendly and kind-hearted, and I would exchange papers for him to read. I shall miss his wonderful smile and his devotion to his wife. - Posted by: Doreen Amadatsu (neighbour in the building) on: Jul 26, 2017

  • I am so sad to hear of Tommy's passing. He was a gentle giant and the kindest man I ever met. His lifelong friendship with the Larkin family will not be forgotten. May fond memories of having dinner with him and Beth at Park Tower Restaurant and conversations of hockey games. He was forever finding me great prospects to hire at RBC and BMO! The world has lost a great man. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Debbie Larkin Sigfusson (Friend ) on: Jul 26, 2017
