He leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories, his devoted wife of 62 years: Jacqueline, whose love and companionship were the heart of his life; his children: Brenda, Beverly (Wayne), Todd (Laraine), Sheri-Lynn (Paul), and Mary. His memory will also live on through his grandchildren: Janine (Kory), Rebecca (Spencer), Stevie Marie (Joel), Thomas, Trevor (Ashley), Jessica-Lynn (Brent), Tabitha, Dianne, and Chris (Keri); great-grandchildren: Brooklyn, Kye, Hunter, Mila, Jesse, Jacob, Hannah, and Madelyn, who all brought him immense pride and joy. He also leaves to mourn, his siblings: Beulah, Shirley, Norman, and Roy; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends.

Tom was predeceased by his beloved son: Trent.

Tom lived his life doing what he loved most – surrounded by nature and he people he held dear. Time spent at the cabin, with laughter echoing through the woods, brought him his greatest happiness. He found peace in the stillness of the forest, in the rhythm of the hunt, the pull of the fishing line, and the simple beauty of the world around him.

In following his wishes, cremation has taken place. There will be no formal visitation or funeral service at this time. Interment to take place at a later date. As expressions of sympathy, in lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the Royal Canadian Legion-Branch 13 in Tom's memory.

"A life lived close to nature leaves footprints on the hearts of those who remember."
