My deepest condolences on your loss. Tom loved to tell stories of Gravenhurst at the office and I always enjoyed sitting with him. It was always a pleasure when he came to visit after his retirement – we even put him to work a couple of times! He will be sadly missed.
Debbie, Our thoughts and best wishes are with you and your family at this difficult time.
This is a time to reflect and celebrate Tom’s life and your life with him. Remember the happy and healthy times.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of loss. May you know the peace and comfort of our Living Savior, Jesus Christ during this difficult time and always.
Debbie, It was with dis-belief when I read in today’s paper about Tom’s passing. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. It feels like, just yesterday that I talked to Tom at a restaurant here in Gravenhurst. We had a good time talking about the old days but that was quite a few years ago. Take care of yourself.
I am deeply saddened to hear of the loss of a great man in your family…. I know how it feels to lose a parent… It took me years to get over my MOM’s passing… Still to this day after 12 years…
My thoughts & prayers are with you & your family…
Wish I could have been there to pay my respects…
