Devoted Grandpa of Christopher, Katrina, Christian, Kaitlyn and Marcus. Dear Brother of Annie and the Late (Yu Shui Man (Father) and Tam Kok Ngar (Mother) and sister Tam Yuen Kwan)
elevated 1Fmu9 Thomas overcame several challenges growing up and life changed when he met the Love of his Life in 1960. Lucy and Thomas married on May 12th, 1963. In 1975, they brought a young family to Canada and was a turning point for the family. They always believed ‘that children come first’.
elevated 1Fmu9 Thomas was a humble, hard-working, kind, likeable and generous human being – a true gentlemen. He enjoyed western movies, listening to both classical and folk music and loved to dance with mom. He was a great salesman and was always a top producer in his career and loved his Cutlass Supreme. He loved gathering with family and friends for dinner and a weekly game of Mahjong. Thomas had a big heart and enjoyed keeping in touch with close family and friends.
elevated 1Fmu9 Thomas will be deeply missed by Lucy, his family, relatives and friends.

Tom was truly a gentleman and wonderful friend. We will miss our annual lunches with Lucy and Tom
Blessings my friend.

Uncle Tom是一位非常令我尊敬的長輩。
記得1980年初，到加拿大升學，18歲，不懂事，幸得到他的照顧，徬徨的心才得安定下來。幾十年過去，至今未忘。
Uncle Tom，一路好走。
Uncle Tom has a kind heart and a gentle spirit. Auntie Lucy and Uncle Tom was my guardian when I first came to Canada. His presence alway gave me comfort and assurance. May God’s peace and comfort be with his family.
Tom you will definately be missed. You were my friend but also a friend to so many. I have met your beautiful family & I know you were so proud of them all. We shared our memories on countless subjects, but had a few giggles about your Cutlass Supreme. I am so glad we got to enjoy so many lunches out with you and Lucy for Dim Sum. You were a very humble gentleman & may you rest in peace my friend.
