Having worked with Tom off and on over the past 20 years on the railway I can still see his smiling face. He always had some kind words for everyone he met.
To Toms wife Pam and his entire family and friends, I send you all my sincere and heartfelt sympathy at this most difficult time. Please take comfort in knowing that Tom will be thought of often and missed greatly by his co-workers. His other family.

I never met Tom in fact I only hired on with CP a month ago. Every time Tom's name gets brought up in the cab it tends to lighten up a dark place reminding the crew of good times, then it darkens when reality sets in that he is gone and is going to be missed dearly

his gain is our loss! Dale, Judy, Amy,Megan and Sara will miss you so much Tom! Our camping trips, the crepes and yes the strawberry dacquaries at our happy hour were the best! You were a big part of our girls lives, helping teach them the water sports they now know and do well. The sledding trips in the mountains will never be the same without you! You might be gone but will never been forgotten! Rest in peace our good friend!!!

It was great working with Tom, we used to joke around, and I used to call him the "Mangy Curr"; I have been retired for almost 3 years and Tom, I can still see your infectious smile and laughter. You will be missed.

Our family camping trips will never be the same without you, Tom! The kids and I have been talking about the good times we've had at the campsites - like when you taught Jayme and the girls how to make the best crepes. Or the time I heard weird noises coming from your campsite - there you were with your generator and blender making the best strawberry drinks I've ever had! Let's not forget about the bear that showed up one morning at your site. Or watching you and Pam ski or board together. We are so very sad that we will never see your smiling face or that wonderful laugh of yours. We will miss you so much Tom. Our memories will always be close to our hearts. Sharon, Ryan, Tyler & Jayme

Our family was blessed to have a brother, uncle and brother-in-law such as Tom. Tom impacted all of our lives and gave of himself everyday. The kids will miss his constant support and encouragement. Tom always took the time for each of the kids from birthday parties to music concerts and of course hockey games. Whether it was a tyke game or the Bantam AAA Western Canadian Championship he was always there. His devotion to our children was irreplaceable and he will always be remembered for the love he showed them. He will be deeply missed!

I have worked for the railway for 32 years and very few men have shown the love and respect for everything around him as did Tom.
I feel proud to have known and worked with Tom. You will be remembered by many.
Your joyous smiles will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
