I am so sorry that I wasn’t able to get up to visit cousin Tom for so long now. He has always been in my heart, and I will always remember him fondly as a kind, generous person who was more of a role model for me than he ever suspected. Be good to each other and yourselves in this difficult time, and know that Tom will always be remembered.
All my best, cousin Barb Wickenden

Valley Road has many good memories for me as well growing up with Pat and Wendy and I remember when you were born. Such a happy, little guy. My family affectionately remembers you as the “Bear Hunter””. Happy hunting gounds

I remember Tom’s big hearty laugh and his greater sense of humor and fair play. He is gone to a greater place where he will be more than welcome I’m sure. My prayers go with him for a safe, happy and pleasant journey to his next adventure. He was loved by many and enjoyed by most, he will be missed here on Earth. My prayers are with Donna, Wendy and all those who’s love and will carry on his memory.

Remembering the old days, weekends on Skin Lake in the summer, cutting Pine trees just before Christmas, and cross country skiing in early March. A kinder, quieter time, surrounded by good friends and protected from the harsher things in life. I will always remember the gentle man with the large heart and a larger than life presence . Rest well my friend.
Teresa and Earl Armstrong
Our condolences on your loss. Grant always talked so highly on Tom. May your memories heal!

How sad to hear of the passing of such a good friend. We have many happy memories of Valley Road and Tom and the Wyorzub family were always an integral part of these wonderful Valley Road memories. Muriel remembered how he loved her Arrowroot cookies and as a young child would sneak into her fridge to help himself to them. He was a kind, gentle and wonderful man and we know he will be missed by you all. May those memories sustain you in these sad times.
