Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryTHOMAS (TOM) JAMES HENRY TIMLICK
On this Holy Day Sunday, Jan 4, 2026, at 3:44 a.m., with a full moon in the sky and his daughter by his side, Tom, our Dad, left this earth to reunite with his beloved wife Shirley, our Mom, and his furry best man Laddie in Heaven.
Tom passed two days before his 91st Birthday. Recently, Tom looked back on his life feeling pride and at peace with his life’s accomplishments. A poor boy from Hull, England, in 1944 during The Second World War, Tom, along with his brother Vicky and their Mother Ethel, left for Canada by ship to join Jason and his children. Jason officially adopted Tom and Vicky. They were now a family with nine children. Tom always spoke very highly of his father Jason.
As a boy Tom took on various job like pin setting at the bowling alley, drug store delivery boy, walking horses at the racetrack and climbing hydro poles up north. At 17-years-old, with permission from his Dad, Tom joined the Canadian Navy where he served four years, distilling water in the bottom of the ship. Tom said being in the Navy made a man out of him. He was pleased and proud he got to see a lot of the World with the Navy.
Tom worked for the Canadian National Railway as a porter in a dining car. He was also proud of being a licensed funeral director and embalmer in two provinces. He also worked at various funeral homes, and tried his hand starting his own business, called ‘A Call Removal’, in a highly competitive field. Tom retired with the city commissionaires. Tom was a hard worker and wasn’t afraid to learn anything new, even cab driving. In retirement Tom and Shirley played seniors baseball in their 80’s, enjoyed dancing and darts. Tom loved making all kinds of crafts and going to craft sales, reading, adult day programs with Shirley. Plus, a lot of enjoyment from his iPad, which he admitted he was addicted to.
In his life he became a Mason and a Shriner and was a member of the St. James Legion for over 50 years. Way to go Tom!
Tom was predeceased by his wife Shirley, son Rod and his wife Sharon, Mother, Father, Brothers, Sisters, nieces and nephews.
Left to grieve with heavy hearts are daughters, Patti, Sandy (Kris), sons, Mark and Jim, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends.
