Thomas Michael "Tom" Wunder

Passed away peacefully on Monday, June 12, 2021, at St. Mary's Hospital in his 83rd year. Beloved husband of Gloria (nee Benninger) Wunder for 58 years. Dear father of Leslie Slabon (Karol), Christopher Wunder (Dana), Lianne Horne (Mike), Laura Wunder-Meier (Paul), and Stephanie Scheifele (Scott). Proud grandpa to Thomas, Karolina, Meaghan, Claire, Elise, Riley, George, Jacob, Sarah and Joseph. Tom will be missed and remembered by his sister Mary Cardillo, his sister-in-law Carol Wunder, and his many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents George and Doris (nee Cooper), his two brothers Robert and James, and brother-in-law Dominic Cardillo. Tom's greatest accomplishment was his love and devotion to his family. He didn't need fancy things or world travels to make him happy, all he needed was his family crowded around the kitchen table or crammed into a cottage at the beach. He devoted his life's work to helping others. He was a celebrated member of the community for his work as a credit/debt counselor for over 30 years at Catholic Family Counseling Centre, later known as Carizon Family and Community Services. For decades, he devoted his spare time to scouting, as a Scout Leader and Camp Master and spent innumerable weekends at Everton Scout Camp. He was an active member of St. Agnes Church and lived his life in service to the Lord.
