Thomas Edward QUACKENBUSH

Peacefully, surrounded by the love of family on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, in his 70th year. Dear father of Philip, Ryan (Jessica), Jason (Jane) and David (Silvia). Loving grandfather of Parker, Spencer, Grace, Shelby, Landan, Kayleigh, Chase, Emily, Eric, Ivy, Adan, and Kane. Dear brother of Lynda Popovich and special "Unc" to Billy Popovich. Tom will be missed and remembered by his wife Doris Gottfried. He was privileged to have friends from high-school affectionately known as "Popo's Crew" - he will be deeply missed. Predeceased by his parents John (Eddie) and Gladys (nee McBey) Quackenbush. Tom began his career as an electrician in 1977 and retired in 2016 after years of service. He had a diverse career starting with Victoria Electric, then became a Professor at Conestoga College and retired as an Electrical Inspector with the Electrical Safety Authority. Tom's family will receive relatives and friends from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2023, and will continue on Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick St., Kitchener. We will celebrate Tom's life at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 22, 2023, in the chapel of the funeral home. Following the service you are welcome to join the family in the reception room of the funeral home and are encouraged to share memories. Tom always wanted everyone to be comfortable so please feel free to wear jeans or your most comfortable clothing. Tom enjoyed nothing more than a trip on his motorcycle. To honour his love for riding donations to Grand River Motorcycle Ride for Dad would be appreciated. Cards are available at the funeral home 519-749-8467. Special thanks to the team of PSW's - Daniel, Kelly Ann, and Nora. Each of you brought many laughs and took such good care of Tom during these last few months.
