Tom had a wonderful sense of humor and a naturally positive outlook, he had a gift for lifting others up. He lived selflessly, always ready to lend a hand whenever he could. He was a spiritual person, extremely devoted, with an amazing strength and preservereance. Beyond his character, Tom had many loves in life. Whether cheering on a hockey or football game, sketching a drawing, casting a line while fishing, or enjoying music, he found joy in simple and meaningful moments. The North Shore was a place especially close to his heart, holding many fond memories and moments with his family and those he loved.
