Thank you mr Tom for everything you taught me. You will be missed. My heart goes out to your wife Roxanne, whom you always spoke of so sweetly and fondly.
When I met Tom at Arborcare Tree Services. ..almost 10 years ago he was always quiet and He did not talk to much. He was always doing and ready to do his job but always with his Tim's Horton coffee that he enjoyed every morning ... and it seemed that the day would be boring ... but as time passed and we were living-working together daily ... it was more transient and easier the day of work. .. then he starts jokes like when he was in the bucket in the air and asking you ...Do I know you? .... and then you answered ... it's me ... (and you said your name). ... to what he afirm ... oh yes (and laughed) ... and after that (with very serious expretion on his face...he just telling you ) but do not tell anyone "...and haha haha.. (laughed loudy).... in fact it will be missed... many good and bad moments that make you grow both in work and personal experience. ...doing his job in a expedite time and right. .... rest in peace, friend. ..what maybe I'm not or he never knew ...I consider him as a friend but I feel it like that. .. because we were only workers in turn. ..and you really do not get to know the people around you ... but they do leave a mark on your life. ...Rest in Peace Tom....and may the Lord God the Father grant you to see the light of his face and enjoy his eternal life in his celestial kingdom. ..for Jesus Christ your beloved son. We pray, sir. ..Amen Sincerely my condolences to your Wife. ..Roxxane that always he talk very good and proud of you. And is not a finish bye Tom....just you going ahead of us enjoying the God's love God bless you always. ....
As employees of the City of Calgary ‘s Urban Forestry Department , we had a great time when Tom was doing work for us . We looked forward to his arrival at our Richmond Green depot Monday mornings , as we knew he would do great work, and we enjoyed his calm , positive, outlook on life . We had lots of laughs as well ! I’m glad that we have been a part of Tom’s journey. Best wishes to his friends and family !
