Tom was a long-time employee with Bell Canada, where he made a significant impact on helping establish the original 911 system with Niagara Regional Police dispatch. Tom loved to spend many hours working on his hobby farm, gardening and always repairing whatever needed to be repaired. Whenever asked, Tom was always there to lend a helping hand to friends and family members. Tom loved traveling with Margo, they went to many places in their Airstream trailor. Tom really looked forward to his Tim Hortons outing every week with his friend Dave.

Thank you to Dr. Duorcher for his many years of looking after Tom and a special thanks to Linhaven and Upper Canada Staff.
