I first met Tom when we both started training together as passenger agents in April of 1973. Tom was very helpful to me, as he picked me up every morning & drove me downtown for training classes. So sad to hear that Tom scummed to one of the most unforgiving cancers. May the good Lord hold you in his arms & give you comfort. May Tom's wife Diana, his children, & grand children, also receive comfort from the good Lord during this difficult time. - Posted by: RON MACKENZIE (Work colleague) on: Jul 11, 2026

Tom was an outstanding trade unionist, his activism made a difference for many of his co-workers and the broader labour community. I first met Tom in the late 1980's, he was part of a group of dedicated CAW activists, who could always be counted on to support other union's in their time of need. I was proud to count Tom as both a friend and a trade union brother. My sincere condolences to Diana, and the entire Freeman family. Paul Moist CUPE - Posted by: Paul Moist (Friend) on: Jul 11, 2026
