I just found out about the loss of Tom. My first impression of Tom right off the bat was that he was a very kind person. It was always a pleasure to see him and later on to read his humorous posts online. Tom seemed to care a lot about his family and put a lot of value into those relationships. I am sad to hear of his loss and my heart goes out to his family, friends, and his partner, Jenn. - Posted by: Lori Noad (Friend) on: Mar 22, 2024

I am at a loss of words, just finding out that Tom has passed. Even though our friendship was not a long one, he was a wonderful kind hearted friend. He will truly be missed and I will miss his encouraging and caring conversation and photos from his many forest walks. My prayers go out to his family, who he spoke so highly of with the deepest love. And to his partner who he always said how lucky he was to find a love like her. Tom we didn’t make it to the airplane museum together for a tour so you could explain each plane. But I promise I will still go for the both of us. Miss you my friend. - Posted by: Teresa (Friend ) on: Oct 07, 2023

To Tom’s family and friends. I grieve with you in the loss of Tom. He was a gift in many ways, sharing his fantastic sense of humour & kind spirit. He was compassionate as he understood life’s challenges too well, and overcame them with a new sense of life. I will miss his stories and recent pictures of his daily walks. May you and your family find peace knowing he’s had a wonderful time exploring, healing and connecting these past months. Portage Place won’t be the same without you to tell its stories. Gone too early and you will not be forgotten, rest in paradise, Tom. - Posted by: Donna Sagness (Colleagues ) on: Oct 06, 2023

To Tom’s family and friends. I grieve with you on the loss of Tommy. He went by a few colourful nicknames as he had such a great sense of humour. He was also a compassionate fella who understood life’s struggles but rose above. I will miss him, his story telling and his recent pictures of his walks. Although I'm so very sorry for his loss, I’m grateful he had the time to enjoy a peaceful few months and took in all life had to offer. Rest in paradise, Tom. Portage Place won’t be the same without you! - Posted by: Donna Sagness (Work colleague) on: Oct 06, 2023
