Thomas Allen MARR

April 2, 1953 - November 23, 2022
With great sadness we announce that Tom passed away peacefully at home on November 23rd, with his loving family by his side. He is survived by his wife, Nancy; sons Doug and Dave; siblings Herb (Lynn), Beth, and Walter (Ida). Predeceased by his sister Heather and his parents Kathleen and Holland Marr. Tom was born in Hagersville ON and grew up as part of a close-knit community in Highland Creek ON. Well-suited to country living, Tom spent the last thirty years living in the hamlet of Udora. After a long career in the automotive field, retirement in 2011 allowed Tom to spend time on his many interests and hobbies. Tom was a skilled machinist and craftsman, well-known among his friends as the man to see when advice or hands-on help was needed. Tom gave generously of his time and knowledge, spending many happy hours working in his machine shop with friends and family. Tom was most in his element designing and working on his many projects. He had a particular passion for restoring vintage motorcycles and steam engines. From motorcycle and camping adventures throughout Canada and the States, to hosting backyard corn roasts and get-togethers at the family cottage, Tom enjoyed bringing people together to have a good time. Loving husband, proud father, fun-loving brother, Tom leaves behind a legacy of friendship, generosity, and kindness. He will be dearly missed. A Celebration of Tom's Life will take place at a later date. Arrangements entrusted to the THORNE FUNERAL HOME, 109 Laidlaw Street South in Cannington (705-432-2672).
