My heartfelt sympathies to your entire family. Tom was my father's (George Macdonald) first friend and roommate at Granite Ridge Long Term Care Centre. I had the pleasure of getting to know Tom when I was there visiting Dad. We'd sit and talk hockey and I'd gladly wheel him to his room after meals or help him out when need be. I have good memories of Tom and will miss his smiling face. May fond memories comfort you at this sad time. God bless. Heather Bigelow (Ottawa, ON)

Deepest sympathy to all the family for your loss. I've known Tom since the early '60's, playing senior hockey with both Tom and Dick for the Cyrville Frontenacs in the Bytown Hockey League. Great guy, lots of good memories, especially at the Legion. Will be missed but not forgotten.
