My memories and thoughts of Tom are rich and full of a man who was honest, integral, kind to a fault, and a man who loved life and lived it to the fullest. Baseball, golfing, and a personal friendship that has left a lasting legacy with me.It was an honor for me to call him friend and I will cherish all the great memories.Tom will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the England family during this very difficult time.

Condolence from Joanne Hodgins on January 6th, 2015 7:06 PM

Donelda, Linda & Dave, Brad & Ruth, & Barb
I will always cherish the wonderful memories of times spent with the family. As neighbours, then ongoing connections through Barb, and the occasional run-in, it was always a pleasure and joy to spend time with all of you. I have many cherished memories of Tom and his gentle & calm ways, respect of others, and that wonderful kiddish giggle of his with his shoulders rising. I admired him very much and looked up to him often as to how to lead one’s life. He was an outstanding member of the community and loved immensely by his family.
My wish for you all at this time is for warm memories, peace, and much support through family and friends. Tom will be missed dearly but his memory will live on.
Joanne Hodgins

Condolence from Dave Newcombe on January 6th, 2015 9:33 PM

Uncle Tom was a big influence when I was growing up. I looked up to him for his guitar playing and singing and wished that I could be as talented as he was. He made me my first hockey stick by nailing two pieces of wood together and a puck that was a shoe polish can wrapped up in black tape. I think Uncle Tom had a soft heart and I’ll never forget him. I’m sure he’ll be missed by everyone that knew him like I did.
