Ken contacted me today to tell me about Tom’s passing. Dad always spoke highly of Tom and their Air Canada days. Both you and Tom have always been so good to Mom and my family over the years.

He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Norma, so sorry for your loss. I only saw the notice in the paper today. Steve is out of town, back the weekend, and we will make it a point to see you soon. Tom was a fine man, always with a smile and a story. I’m sure that the Air Canada crowd will miss him. We are thinking of you at this time.

Norma,

My deepest condolences on Tom’s passing. He was such a nice man, and I have so many lasting memories of all the Boxing Day visits to your house during my childhood. I shall also remember all the favors he did me on seating arrangements as I was travelling from St. John’s on Air Canada. Take care. 😉

I extend my deepest condolences to Norma and family on Tom’s passing. We were classmates at PWC and I believe his desk was directly in front of mine in grade 11. We were friends and always shared a laugh.

Norma ,

So sorry to hear of Tom’s passing . While too many years have gone by since I left the Province I often thought of you and Tom and such a good relationship you had . He was one of a kind : gentle, intuitive and quite often would up-grade me on A.C. , especially on my European junkets….he was one of a kind ! That aside , my sincerest best wishes go out to you and may the wonderful memories carry you through these difficult moments. Bob Hefferton, High River , AB
