THOMAS (TUCKER) BURNS MCDERMOTT

Condolences & Memories (7 entries)

• I have great memories of Tom coming to perform with his music group at the Irish Pavilion at the Winter Festival in Brandon, Manitoba. My Grandma and I always enjoyed his music. Later in my life, Tom came and provided his gift of music, singing, and connection to the client's I work with. The client's loved his warm spirit and sense of humor. Tom will be greatly missed! - Posted by: Melissa Meelker (Professional) on: Dec 31, 2025

• One of my favorite memories will be listening to Tucker play guitar outside at the lake. Sitting on the steps, practicing a piece or strumming. I think he told me that if no one else was listening then the music was for the birds. The other great memory at the lake was when he would start into a story - I had no other tasks calling me, so I could tell him to give me the long version. His humor and good nature will be remembered and missed. - Posted by: James Schellenberg (Friend) on: Dec 23, 2025

• I met Tom when he was working at Manitoba Highways and I always felt we had more than a business association. I always enjoyed his good humour and his honest, no b.s. demeanor. Also enjoyed watching him play and sing. Even had occasion to hire him for a little gig, for which he was his usual easygoing accommodating self. I had lost touch with him after he retired but think of him often . A truly wonderful man who will be missed very much. I'm tipping a Guinness in your honour Tom! - Posted by: Terry Woods (Business Associate) on: Dec 22, 2025
