Our sincerest condolences to Bev and Tom's Family. Tom was a new friend to us but we felt like we had known him forever. He was always ready with a hug and a kind word. I know the pleasure his company gave to Bev. Our time together as neighbours was far too short. Rest in Peace Tom.

Tom came to my choir concert once and truly enjoyed it. He said when I saw him last Tuesday I sang like and angel. Well now my friend you have real angels singing to you. Love you

Dear Jill, Chad and Bev -

I will always remember Tom as kind, caring and full of life and energy. He seemed larger than life at times. I know he was a very supportive father and he especially loved being a grandfather to all his amazing grandkids.
I am so glad he found Bev in the past few years. His enjoyment of the life you created together was evident.
To all of you, Amber, Jocelyn, Noah and I send our deepest condolences. No one expected this to happen and to happen so quickly. We are with you in spirit.
Love Amy

Tom was a very good friend, my first boss in the corporate world and a mentor and will always be part of my life!

We send our condolences to all of Tom's family and friends, especially to Jill and her family, to Chad and his family, and to Robin and her family. Although we never met Bev, Tom once told Peter she was the "love of his life". We are in Arizona currently so I'm sorry but we will miss the visitation. I must agree with someone who mentioned that Tom was larger than life. Indeed he was, and so were his many interests and passions. Rest in peace Tom. You will be missed!
