Thomas Michael Finn

Survived by his loving wife Helen Finn (Nugent), and his children Anthony "Tony", Lawrence "Larry" (Deborah Andrews), Christopher “Chris” and Sarah. He was grandfather to Nicholas, Paris, Lyndsay, Sydney and David. Great-grandfather to Felix, Lucy, Kaelem, Evan, David, and Cameron. And extra treat provider to pets Guff and Darbie.

Also survived by sisters-in-law Geraldine Finn, Marie Nugent and Mary Schofield and brother-in-law Peter Nugent. Tom was predeceased by his parents Sarah and Edward and his siblings Edward, Mary Carter, William and Patricia MacDonald.

Born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, work took him to New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, California

and finally to Ottawa.

Tom's heart lay in his writing and art work. And, of course, in James Joyce.

But, his love lay in his family. He will be sorely missed.

Heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses at The General, Bruyère and Civic Hospitals.

The family invites relatives and friends to a visitation at McEvoy-Shields Funeral Home and Chapel at 1411 Hunt Club Road, Ottawa on Thursday, August 8, 2024 from 2pm-4pm and 7pm-9pm. Words of Remembrance at 3:00pm and 8:00pm.

His final resting place will be at St. Isidore Parish Cemetery, South March.

In lieu of flowers, donations made to The Ottawa Hospital, Élisabeth Bruyère Hospital or a charity of your choice would be greatly appreciated.
