Adored grandfather of ten grandchildren and much loved Big Poppa to thirteen great-grandchildren. The family will gather privately to share memories of a husband, father, grandfather and Big Poppa, who will always mean so very much to us. We would like to thank the people at Cambridge Memorial Hospital, CCAC and Lisaard House who offered Tom such kind and compassionate care. The family would appreciate donations to Lisaard House, St. Luke's Place or St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Hespeler) in lieu of flowers. Arrangements for cremation entrusted to Lounsbury Funeral Home.

We Rise Again in the Faces of Our
Children
That as sure as the sunrise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees
We rise again in the faces
of our children
We rise again in the voices of our song
We rise again in the waves out on the ocean
And then we rise again
(Rankin)
