T.A. grew up in MacKay Alberta, a small rural community west of Edmonton. He was the eldest of five children. In 1954 he moved to Prince George to seek opportunities in the forest industry. T.A. made a living owning and operating a series of small independent sawmills and logging operations. During that time he met June Cormack. They married and raised four children: Bruce, Glen, Barbara and Barry.
He enjoyed gardening, curling and golf, but he absolutely loved baseball, dancing, and gathering together with friends and family. He was very social but fiercely independent.
T.A. is survived by his brother Robert; his children; his four grandchildren Kieren, Isabella, Stella and Shay. He now joins his wife, June, who predeceased him by three months.
There will be a Memorial for T.A. at 2 pm on April 19, 2025, at the Prince George Elder Recreation Community Association. There won’t be any baseball, dancing is doubtful, but there will definitely be a gathering of friends and family to celebrate the life of a wonderful man.
