It is with a tremendous sense of loss and heartfelt sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our beloved Father, Brother, and Granddad.

 

Tom will be forever loved and sorely missed by his sons, Steve (Sharon) and Paul (Thiea); brother Rick (Tracey); and grandchildren, Kayla, Ilaina, Ricky, and Anthony. Tom was predeceased by Linda, his wife of 42 years in 2013.

 

Tom will always be remembered for his kind heart, his generosity, and his love of family and friends. He was larger than life and he cherished being active, going to the gym, and socializing with people.

 

The family wishes to acknowledge the staff of both the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service and the St. Boniface Hospital for their compassion and care.

 

In accordance with Tom’s wishes, cremation has taken place and no formal funeral services will be held. In lieu of flowers should friends so desire, donations may be made in Tom’s memory to CancerCare Manitoba.

 

Tom’s family kindly requests that all of his friends and relatives take a few minutes to honour his memory by sharing photos, memories, and stories, using the comment section on this page.
