• Tom's passing brought the end to a life of a special person. A grandfather, father, husband and friend he touched many lives and left memories all will cherish. His absence will no doubt leave a void, especially for those most dear to him (Dorothy and family) but his spirit will remain strong. I feel very fortunate to have known Tom and call him my friend. To Dorothy, Brad, Tyler and the extended family my heart goes out to you and hope the love you shared will help you through this difficult time.  - Posted by: Michael J.

• From the first week we arrived from Scotland in the hot august of 1968 in Manitoba,friendless and forlorn,we had the greatest of good fortune to have Tom and Dorothy as friends,comforters,fellow believers-in Brandon and at the Lake. They both meant the world to us-although after we moved to the coast it was just from time to time -we hold Dorothy and the family in our prayers and get comforted that Tom is now in his heavenly home and at rest.We love you Dorothy,as you know right well - Posted by: Ken and Irene Macrosson (long -time friends ) on: Sep 10, 2015

• Dorothy and family; our relationship goes back over 30 years and while we never saw you often; we knew we could always pick up from where we last visited. Tom was a mainstay of our study group many years ago which contributed immensely to each of our own business success. We openly shared goals and plans for business, financial,family life and individual aspirations. We also discussed problems openly with each other and knew we would get an attentive ear in total confidence. Our occasional visits in Arizona were always fun. Tom's real impact in this world will not be measured by his business achievements; the home he lived in; nor by his bank account. Tom's impact will be measured by what he meant to others and the extent that he encouraged others to reach their greater potential. I was very fortunate to have him as a friend. He made a difference to many! - Posted by: Dennis/Doreen Erker (friends) on: Sep 10, 2015
