In Celebration of

Robert (Bob) Thomas

November 12, 1929 -  April 15, 2018

Peacefully, on Sunday, April 15, 2018 at the Wenleigh Nursing Home, Mississauga, at the age of 88. Long time companion of Mary Tennant, brother of Josephine, Maura, and the late Sean. Loving father of Catherine Magill (Mike), Karen Blaauw (Heino), Sean (Debbie) and the late Larry (August 2017). Proud grandfather to David, Andrew, Jessica, Rhiannon, Cameron, Kaylyn (Jordan Piaskowy), Kerianne (Jordan Malm), Rachel, Sean (Sarah), Evan, Kyle, Michael and Emma. Bob was born in Dalkey, Ireland on November 12, 1929 and was raised on the family’s dairy farm. He was one of the founding members of the Toronto Saracens Rugby Club and was the team’s first captain. He was involved in Rugby for most of his life and also played tennis into his late 70’s. He loved the outdoors, taking long walks and enjoyed travelling, especially back to his hometown in Ireland. The family would like to thank the Wenleigh for the wonderful care Bob received. A special thanks to the daily care from Sheri and Letty.

Dad, we will miss you always. Thanks for all the wonderful memories and the meaningful influence you had on my life. I will always 'take things in stride', 'keep my sunny side up', 'shake off whenever life throws me a curveball'. I will always be proud of my Irish heritage and that I am decended from 'good hearty peasant stock'. Love you always! Sean.
