Thomas Tone

TONE, Thomas Jefferson (September 16, 1945 - April 29, 2005) Jeff of Tuscon, Arizona, passed away on Friday, April 29th, 2005, after a battle with cancer at the age of 59. He was born to Jean Wallace and Franchot Tone in Los Angeles, California, September 16, 1945 where he lived until 16 years of age. At that time he moved to New York City to live with his father. He then spent the next 18 years living between N.Y.C. and New Canaan, Connecticut. In 1977, at the family cottage north of Ottawa, 31 Mile Lake, he met his future wife, Momo Laframboise. Six years later they were married and produced Jeff's sole heir Thomas Coulson Tone born July 17th, 1985. Jeff lived in Ottawa from 1979 until moving to Tuscon in 1992, where he lived during the winter months and the family cottage during the summer. Jeff is survived by his son Coulson, his brother Pascal Tone and Pascal's two children Lesley and Franchot II. He is fondly remembered by all of his friends and extended family. His presence will be greatly missed this summer at the gathering of the Tone Clan at the cottage. He always remained a loving member of the Laframboise family in Ottawa and is remembered with great fondness. Jeff had a magical presence, gallant and charming and all will miss him. In the last months while battling cancer, Paul and Nancy Peterson, were dear to Jeff and we thank them for their caring and friendship. Friends and family are welcome to join the memorial service to be held in Jeff's honour. We would like to celebrate the joy he brought so many of us. The service will be held at 3 p.m., Saturday, July 16th at the Catholic Church; Notre Dame du Secours Perpetual, Pointe Comfort(e), Quebec.
