August 2, 1945 – February 24, 2020
Suddenly at his home on Monday, February 24, 2020, in his 75th year. Tom, beloved husband of the late Jane (nee Halliday), and son-in-law of Thelma Halliday. Beloved father of Rob (Yuko), Janice Binkley, Tim (Tracy), Kim Binkley (Mike) and Greg. Beloved grandfather of Amanda, Kyle, Britany, Carter, Emily, Becca, Ryan and Darcy. Tom will be sadly missed by his brothers and sisters Mike, Charlie, Teresa and Susan and many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his brother Pat. Tom was a longtime member of Hamilton Plumber’s Local 67. Friends will be received by the family on Friday afternoon and evening from 2-4 & 7-9 at the Turner Family Funeral Home, 53 Main Street, Dundas. In Tom’s words, he has already been torched and a private family service and interment of ashes will take place. Expressions of sympathy to the SPCA would be appreciated by the family.
My sincere condolences to the Binkley family. RIP Tom, you are with your wife once again. I will always remember Tom working with Greg on his home. He was a man who could do almost anything he set his mind to.
Our Dad was not afraid of death – or much else for that matter. Once when we were talking about the subject, I told him the worst thing about him dying would be that I would miss him forever.
I already do.
Dad, I will love you and miss you forever.
Kim. We’re so sorry for your loss. Our hearts and thoughts are with you and the girls.
Love Jocelyn and Garry
Deepest sympathy.Our thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.

Very sorry to hear about this Mike. There is no question that Tom was a man of his own making. He was definitely a great person and his family will miss him for sure. We had lots of laughs together over the years.
So sorry to hear of Toms passing, thinking of the whole family now. He was always my favourite cousin.
Sorry for your loss, mike,Charlie Teresa, and toms family,
Saw Tom at the the bank in Dundas a month or so ago.
Had a nice visit. RIP Tom.
Sincerely

Tom was a warm person, fun to be around and always willing to help you. I have nothing but warm memories of Tom. Our deepest sympathies to all the family.
Our condolences to the family. Tom and I were partners at work and the best of friends. I enjoyed his sense of humour and ability to do an amazing job with no stress and a positive attitude. A true loss to all. Rest in peace Tractor Tom.

Dear Rob and Janice, I am sorry that your dad has passed. I will remember the nice visit I had with your dad last summer when he attended my uncle’s celebration of life. So sorry I can’t make it to the visitation to pay my respects in person. My thoughts are with you.
We hardly knew thee, but love the sense of humour. We know the “miss you” feeling too well. Thinking much for you, Kim and all your family now.
Rest well and look out for your kids, Tractor Tom.
Hugs all,
Marinus and Barb
No matter what role they play in our lives, no one can prepare us for the loss of a father. Such a difficult time… Our family will remember your dad as always willing to lend a hand.
Love from Mona Walls (Schneider) and family
