THOMAS DREW Obituary

THOMAS ARTHUR DREW Entered this world on February 8, 1947 and departed peacefully at Credit Valley Hospital on Thursday, March 31, 2016. He was the beloved husband and friend of Heather Drew for 45 years. Tom was the loving father of Darryl and Terry (Heather) and very proud Grandpa of Evelyn and Rosalie. Survived by his brother Bill (Betty Ann) and a wonderful, loving extended family. Predeceased by his mother, Aileen (1967) and his father, Vic (1985). Tom led a varied and fulfilling life with many successful careers. His outgoing nature allowed him to make many treasured friendships. We will honour his life at Streetsville United Church, 274 Queen Street South, on Thursday, April 7th. Visitation will be from 4:00 - 5:00 p.m. with the service to follow. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Tom's name would be greatly appreciated.

Heather, Terry, Daryl & families,
My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy for your loss.
Tom was truly a great guy....he always had time for a friend to listen, to advise, to offer a helping hand or just make you laugh out loud. He will be missed by the many who had the pleasure of knowing him. Missed, but never forgotten.

My deepest condolences to Tom's and Bill's family. I have known Tom since probably age 4. We went to Elmbank Elementry School, Malton Public School and Streetsville Secondary School together. He was a happy guy, a good athlete and we had a lot of fun in those early years. He fought a courageous battle to the end. Rest in peace my friend.
