To all of Toms loved ones my sympathies. I would see Tom at the knights games and occasionally chat about the team or the old days. We played together on the Ballymote Blazers Hockey team where Tom was well known for his liberal use of RubA535 before every game. Quick with a witty remark or a great joke Tom was a great friend and teammate. He always had your back. He will be sorely missed.
So sorry to hear about Tom. We had alot of good times playing ball with him. Our deepest sympathy to everyone.

To all concerned, sorry to hear of Tom’s passing.
Candi, Don, Heather, Brian, Julie, Ryan and Deb
We don’t know where to begin. Tom touched so many of our lives. From the Ballymote Blades to the Jungle Joose Jets and of course bowling. He interacted with all who knew him with a smile and conversation. He never left anyone out, young or old. Our kids enjoyed his company on a few Jungle Joose Jet get togethers. I’m sure “Chicken Legs” has fond memories of him and the girls as well, even later in life Tom sponsored the girls ball team. Once again interacting with so many and leaving great and lasting memories. We are grateful to have known Tom for so many years.
Our hugs and prayers go out to you all.
Dave & Linda
Gone too soon. Our deepest condolences to Don Candy and all the family. Enjoyed bowling with Tom in summer league at Fairmont Lanes a few years ago. He could sure make you laugh.
