It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our dad/grandfather at age 96.
Born in Vancouver, Tom moved to New Westminster, and at 18 years formed his first 10 piece orchestra. His passion for music continued throughout his lifetime.
He proudly served in the army during WW2 with the Royal Rifles of Canada and is a member of the Legion Br. 240. He has been a member of the Musicians Assoc since 1946, and was a original member of the White Rock Historical Society.
He was a kind and loving man who will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Sheila, son Bob (Jenny), daughters Sherri (Kim), Kathy, and Wendy (Bob), and sister Peggy.
He loved his family & friends dearly and had a special soft spot for his grandchildren who adored him.
In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Kidney Foundation or Canadian Diabetes. No service will be held.
