Left to cherish his memory are his daughters Sandra (Mike), Linda (Rick), son Robert and his loving grandchildren.
Thomas will be remembered for his love of life, dancing, laughing with his brothers, his crazy sense of humour, motorcycling, puzzling, his kind generosity, his work hard play hard philosophy and of course his big bear hugs.
We love you and you will be sadly missed.
The family wishes to thank the staff at the Vernon Jubilee Hospital and the Vernon Funeral Home for their care and compassion.
A private family celebration of life will take place at a later date.
