Tom loved spending time with family and friends. Tom had an amazing memory for numbers and facts which helped in his joy of trivia. He also enjoyed time at the lake cottage, reading, feeding the hummingbirds, and most of all helping others and giving unselfishly of his time.
Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.

I was fortunate enough to have lived next to Tom and Sharon for 14 years. I was just starting my home ownership and Tom and I would discuss the right approach to a home improvement project I was working on. Tom would always ask if I needed to borrow a tool. When we started to have kids we were outside even more and conversations about the day were even more frequent. I fondly remember Tom sitting on his house steps showing my 4 year old son all of his cool electrical tools in his van and tool belt. I'm so thankful of the 14 years I got to know him. He will live on in my fond memories.
