Dear Barbara, Ryan(Doreen), Matt(Natalie) and Patrick (Dyana). To say goodbye to a husband, father and brother is felt with a heavy heart. He will be so missed. I have only fond memories of my brother. Tears are many but the laughter is loud and clear. Love you forever
Tom was a good man, a devoted family man that adored his wife, with a caring heart for his boys, and so proud of them.
Tom and Barb worked hard together, and successfully raised their three boys.
Tom was my big brother. Thinking of our time together as youngsters, he was my super hero – he was six years older. As a kid growing up, he was bigger and stronger than any other kid at the school. I was the opposite – a skinny scrawny little guy starting kindergarten. I remember having no fear at school just thinking about who my big brother was. In reality he was a kind gentle giant.
I loved him, and have so many precious memories to cherish.
May God comfort Barb, the boys and their families as they grieve the loss of this special man.
Tom the bomb! That’s what we all called him when we were young. Tom was like a father figure to Eddie and I. I will always remember the late night McDonald’s runs, the spur of the moment Sauble Beach days and all the laughter and fun I had with my big brother! I am forever grateful for all the memories I had with Tom and I will truly miss him.
To Barb, Ryan,Matt and Patrick, you had a wonderful husband and father and my family and I send you all our love!

Our condolences to Barbara, his sons, his sisters and brothers and all their families, as you celebrate the life of a good man, husband, father, grandfather, brother to 4 sisters and 3 brothers and a caring son.
As John said: ” Tom was a kind gentle giant.” More gentle than his sisters in their teenage years.
