Hello to the Cunningham family…
Never a good time when sickness is involved. We share that story especially when cancer is the enemy. It was a beautiful family that moved in next to us so many years ago into Uncle Joes house and that we had the privilege of getting to know. Time flies and here we are now revisiting the passing of a loved one. Tom was a brilliant man and I say that because I know from personal conversations. He was extremely kind to anyone he had the opportunity to show that side to. The family can take consolation in knowing they had someone who loved and did his best to guide the ship through life for the family’s benefit. We want to pass on our love to you guys and say he helped create and craft some special people that he was always proud to say “ This is my family “. Please keep the warm memories of his love as a guide in your own lives. Always in our memories. Paul and Judy Francis

Our thoughts and prayers are with you, we wish we could be there in person.
All our love,
Ian, Helene, Shannon, Harry and Jessie

Dear Del and Family,
It is never easy to lose a loved one, even if they have lived a long, fulfilling and happy life!
Doug and I have had the pleasure of being your neighbors for the last 11 years. We met Tom even before we moved in!
Our condolences to you all. Tom will certainly be missed.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all doing ok.
Very sorry to hear about the passing of Tom..
Tom was the genuine article. He was a wealth of information. He always loved to help and educate others. My parents knew Tom well. Whether playing cards or just shooting the breeze, Tom could always carry the room in his own modest way. Tom had that little sheepish grin, made you wonder what he was thinking, and then you would both burst into a laughter. Knowing Tom, he would want us all to smile as we reflect on his life and the man he was! Greg and Michelle Francis & Family

Delphine and family, so sorry to hear of Mr’s passing. He liked to tease and have a good laugh, he will be missed. But I know he will be happy with Tommy.
Sheila and Harry

Del, Susan, Andrew, Dave and families, so sorry to learn of Tom’s passing., his reunion with Tommy will be a happy one. Sincere condolences.

“Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful ….. Come and share your master’s happiness!” (Matthew 25:23 NIV)
Tom has been called to a better place and may he rest in peace knowing that he made this world a much more special place for those of us privileged enough to know and love him. There is little to offer beyond the tributes scribed at this website so suffice it to say Tom will be sorely missed.

To Delphine & Family,
It was a terrible shock and very sad to read of Tom’s passing; I was truly expecting him to fight back to regain his health as he so often did.

Please accept my sincere condolences.

I wish I had’ve gotten the chance to meet Tom in real life. I was fortunate enough to be able to connect over Facebook these last many years, and Tom was always a gem. Always razzing me about my Leafs with his Canadiens. I’ll miss that, and him. Much love to Del, Susan and the whole family. Rest in Paradise, Tom.

Tom, we will always remember your quick wit and your laughter, how you could find humor in almost all situations, and your profound love for Delphine and all your Family, We love you and will always miss you. Shirley and Carroll Harper
