Dad had the best laugh that lit up his whole face and travelled right to his twinkling blue eyes. Always ready with a pocket full of candy for the grandkids. He had a memory like a steel trap and could tell stories for hours. As kids we were so fortunate to spend time with him at camp. Spending every summer and weekends in the winter at Trout Lake where everyone knew Tommy. Generous with his time and never without the flannel shirt and work boots he would willingly help with whatever needed fixing. Even though he struggled with illness in the last year, he never complained and we will all miss him terribly. We would like to sincerely thank all of his siblings and friends for the many visits and laughs shared at the hospital. Your love for him is so evident. We also thank the many Group Health Centre doctors and the nurses at Sault Area Hospital for their excellent care.
