Tribute
Tom slipped away from home to “Go Fishing” after a hard five month battle with cancer. He loved hunting, fishing and camping and was lucky to be able to do these things from an early age growing up in Chemainus with easy access to Copper Canyon.He met the love of his life at age 14 and they married 7 years later. Tom started work for BCFP Crofton Pulp and Paper in 1974 and retired as a Heavy Duty Mechanic. He worked with childhood friends and made many new friends there. His greatest memories are Port Renfrew in the old days, annual fishing trips with Craig and Wendy and being able to spend lots of time with his grandkids.
Predeceased by Parents Bill and Louise Jackson, brother in-law Owen Fransen and Siblings Bill, Pat, and Anne (Varcoe).
Surviving without him wife Gloria, sister Valerie (Paddy), daughter Tanya (Opie), son Kurt, beloved grandkids Jaeden, Adelyn and Vaughn.
In-Laws Rex (Anne), Louise (Cal), John (Chris), Sylvia (Ernie), Molly Varcoe, Herald Westendorp and many Nieces, Nephews and Good Friends.
In Lieu of flowers please hug your loved ones.
A celebration of his life will be held at a later date.

Dear Gloria. We were so saddened on reading of Tom’s passing. I will miss Tom on the local lakes we fished. I’ll miss Tom’s late spring drop ins at our house almost every year for an exchange of fishing info. Our deepest condolences too you, Gloria and your family. Never forgotten. Sincerely Peter Schwarz & Judi Ash
