Quieter legacy left
behind - his faith
Cont’d from Pg 7
Tom was also instrumental in the
re-establishment of the Paintearth 4-H
Beef Club, in which both his daughters
participated.
Of the many friendships and connections
that Tom had over the years,
a core group emerged who we recognize
as honorary pall-bearers: Alberta
Brown, Frank Herle, Jim Schaffner,
Bill Meyer, Gordon Fuller, Bert Ponto,
Melvin Kuefler, Earl Jackson, Billy
Peake and Harold Raher.
Between cattle ranching and grain
farming, Tom expressed his more creative
side through metalworking,
cribbage card sharking and endless
jokes and stories.
His grandchildren and great-grandchildren
often reaped the rewards of
these efforts.
It was always a special day when
Papa Tom would show up on his ATV
or with a ride-on digger for the
sandbox.
A quieter legacy that Tom has left
behind was his faith; he was deeply
religious, though not publicly demonstrative,
and we were often told by
Papa Tom that he was praying for us.
In more recent years, Tom handed
down many of these trades and farm
responsibilities to his growing family
and spent time RVing with his wife
Doreen and their friends.
Adventures included trips across
Canada and abroad to Europe, Hawaii,
Arizona and Alaska.
Tom and
Doreen also
enjoyed regular
local outings to
the Ponoka
Stampede,
northern Alberta
lakes for fishing,
and the always
memorable
annual family
campout, be that
in the coulee or at
a real
campground.
Tom is survived
by wife
Doreen; daughters
Carmen
(Dwayne Felzien)
and Nichole (Greg
Borm); brother
Richard; sisterin-law
Kay
Brown (Albert
Brown); four
grandchildren
born to Carmen
and Dwayne; and
10 great-grandchildren.
Katrina
(married to Tyler
Smith and
mother to Kinsley
and Madison),
Patricia, Jason
(married to
Shauna Zimmer
and father to
Caleb, Marcus,
Luke and Gwen),
and Joseph (married
to Sarah
Wylie and father
spell check to Benjamin,
size Isabelle, Gabriel,
colourand Mabel).
He also leaves
behind a large
community of
extended family,
neighbours and
friends.
As the ‘grumpy
guy who wasn’t
really a grumpy
guy,’ he will be deeply missed by
many.
A closed, private funeral was held
on Fri. March 20, 2020 at the Castor
Evangelical Missionary Church.
In light of current concerns around
the Covid-19 virus, there will be a
‘Celebration of Life’ for Tom at a later
date, details to be determined, during
which we hope that many will gather
with us to share Tom-isms and
memories.
Donations in memory of Tom may
be made to the Our Lady of Rosary
Hospital Foundation General Fund or
to the Paintearth Lodge.
If friends so desire condolences may
be forwarded to the family by visiting
www.parkviewfuneralchapels.com.
Parkview Funeral Chapels were
entrusted with the care and funeral
arrangements. For further information,
please call 403-882-3141.
Card of Thanks
The family is extremely grateful to
the staff and physicians of Our Lady of
the Rosary Hospital for the care and
compassion Tom received during his
final illness.
Thank you also to the members of
the Paintearth and Flagstaff communities
for the many kind words and
prayers over this past week.
Thank you as well to those who
brought food and sent beautiful cards
and flowers and made charitable
donations.
