Tom worked as a carpenter all his life until ill health forced him into early retirement. He was proud to be a Union member of Local 1669 and served on the Union Executive for many years. He loved to fish, hunt and trap. He always looked forward to the fall duck hunting trip with Lorne and the gang. He was also very proud of his children and their life accomplishments. He especially enjoyed visiting his friends and having coffee with them. Lake life was enjoyable to Tom and he looked forward to spending time at the cabin on Rice Bay.

Tom is survived by his wife Judy, daughter Carla, son Lorne, sister Mary of Saskatchewan, brother Keith of British Columbia and brother-in-law Gary Buffington of Fort Frances.
