Dorothy, Tara, Shannon, Amanda and your families,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I have memories of your dad when you first moved to Centralia and I was so excited to have new friends who were girls! He soon squashed my enthusiasm when he diagnosed me with telephon-itis!

Cancer is the worst and I am thinking of you all.

Condolence from Brenda Morgan on July 27th, 2023 11:21 PM

Dorothy, Tara, Shannon, and Amanda,, and families.. Don and I are saddened to learn about Tom’s passing. I remember Tom with his huge smile, and his infectious laugh. He was one of the quickest people I have ever met, that always had a sarcastic funny come back,, to what ever someone said to him. You have both lived in the village for so many years and I am sure there is going to be a lot of people that are going to miss seeing him walking around town, greeting everyone he ran into. I just wanted you all to know that you are in our thoughts,, Toms pain is behind him now,, but I know for you all, yours is still going to be with you for a long while. I hope it won’t be long before the memories of Tom/Dad, brings smiles to your faces, and you remember him in happier times and those memories will bring you the comfort that I know Tom would want you to have. Hugs to the entire family…

Dorothy and family, Condolences Dorothy to you and your family. Even when he was first sick he still came to pick up the stuff from the shed for me. He was always willing to go the extra mile for the residents of Centralia. I will be thinking of you and yours . Take care

Condolence from Ray & Judy Mills on July 28th, 2023 8:18 AM

Dorothy and Family;
Please accept our deepest sympathy at your loss. We did enjoy getting to know Tom over the last few years as he helped us out, doing what he seemed to enjoy – sorting and getting rid of scrap. He once told someone that he looked at that job as his way of helping out society. He did it well, right up to the end. We will miss his smile, his joking and his truck heading to a job. You are in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless.

Condolence from Dick Lord on July 28th, 2023 8:31 AM

Tom and I crossed lives briefly in our life journey, thru the sport of soccer. Tom bestowed on me his care free yet sincere way of living. Sadden I am I didn’t keep in touch. One can influence a life without even realising it.

Condolence from Mary Cronyn on August 2nd, 2023 5:29 PM

Deepest Sympathies on your loss. When my late husband ran the grocery store in Huron Park, we often saw Tom. He was a very nice man.
One time Tom dropped a bottle on the floor, and it was an accident of course. And Larry, my husband had to throw in his sense of humour and said “Houston, we have a problem!”

Farewell! In my thoughts

Mary
