Tom passed away peacefully at the extraordinary age of 97. Audrey, his dear wife and companion for 71 years, predeceased him in 2016. Celebrating his life are daughter Bonnie Lyle (Dennis), son Terry (Dvoira), and grandsons Joshua and Zachary. Tom was born in Ladysmith, BC in 1924. He spent the majority of his life living and working in Burnaby, BC, where Tom and Audrey raised their family. A WWII veteran, Tom worked hard to provide for his family. He retired in 1984, enjoying leisure time with Audrey, playing cards and socializing with friends. When his beloved Audrey passed away, Tom left Burnaby to spend his final years with his children in Vernon, BC. Tom's was a life well lived and he will be sorely missed.
