THOMAS ROBINSON Obituary

ROBINSON, THOMAS "TOM" ALBERT August 19, 1936 - February 10, 2023 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tom at Sunnybrook Palliative Care, after suffering a massive stroke. Tom as the eldest of seven, and was predeceased by his parents, Averell and Helen Robinson (née Hagerty); sister, Ellen (Roger) Barbier; and brothers, Jim (Arlene), Terry (Barbara) and Bill (Edith). He is survived by his brother, Brian Peter; and sister, Mary-Ann Smith (Horan) and her husband, Don Smith; and by dearly loved nieces, nephews, great-nieces and nephews, and great-great-nephews. Tom worked as an auditor in various capacities and assignments with the Federal Government for over 30 years. He enjoyed his workouts, his classes and friends at the Mayfair Club for several decades. Tom was renowned for his encyclopedic memory of world history and sports statistics. He had a lifelong appreciation of classical music and was a great supporter of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Tom studied at York University, where he earned degrees in History and Business Administration. Special thanks to Dr. Rahim Abdulhussein and all the dedicated staff at Sunnybrook Hospital for their special care of Tom. Donations to a Charity of Your Choice would be appreciated. Visitation will take place on Wednesday, February 15, 2023, from 11:00 - 11:45 a.m. at the Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home, 211 Langstaff Rd. E., Thornhill, followed by a Funeral Mass at 12:00 p.m. at the chapel of Saint Joseph, within Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home.

I was so sad to read just now in March 2023 that Tom had passed away. I was trying to call and the number was out of service. We used to take some night time course in consolidations at York University together. I kept in touch with Tom and saw his cats and I spoke to him around Christmas time. We shared some concerts too. My sympathies
