Thomas Gravelle Obituary

Thomas (Thom) Leonard Gravelle passed peacefully and suddenly on September 11. Thom was fiercely proud of and loved his family, his friends, a good sale (be it yard or store), a pink jacket and a party. The hole he has left by leaving us all is enormous and will be ever present. Donations in lieu of flowers to the Jays Care Foundation, Food for Kids or your local food bank would be appreciated by Thom and his family. Left, right, center.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.

Tom left so quickly, no time to say goodbye. Loved his humour and his way, bright and witty. Moe enjoyed Tom’s company and his companionship. RIP Tom

We have many happy memories of our times spent with Thom and Mary. In Fla we would go to Rum Bay restaurant on Palm Island by boat. Bruce cut his shin getting off the boat and as we exited the boardwalk that wound through the mangroves leading to the bar several people saw the blood running down Bruce's leg. Thom just said to them...."run in with a gator".
Our evenings were usually spent sitting at a bar, Thom wanting to see our tab saying he thinks some of our beers ended up on his bill. Laughed every time. He will be missed, and remembered with love.

I knew Thom from the late 70’s to 2000 or so. Reminiscing now, I realize I didn’t appreciate then his many accomplishments. He had panache! Great style, flair, dash, zest and enthusiasm. He would loudly scoff at that. Probably involving the F word. He’d throw back his head and roar. “Mr. self- depreciator”
But he quietly and diligently built a great career in a turbulent and challenging industry; formed lasting friendships and relationships; smoothly and strategically moved ahead.
He was an accomplished and generous host and popular guest because he loved people. He will be missed. I feel fortunate to have known him

Spending time with Tom and Mary in Florida was our special time together. On Christmas Day we took my boat over to Rum Bay and had a wonderful Christmas buffet dinner. Plus numerous other boating trips we did on my boat. Special hugs and kisses to Tom's family and to my dear friend Mary his lovely wife.
