To Gert and family. I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. Please take care of each other, because I know that Tom was private, his family was first. I can also remember in the ’50’s growing up, Tom was a good buddy and very generous; Monday night, Tom says were going to the show, I say I don’t have any money, he says, thats o.k. I wish we had kept closer contacts to Tom and his family. Friends drift apart, and that is so sad. Love you Gert.
A great loss for the family, I am deeply sorry for you loss. Joan
To Mrs.Shuman and family, Please accept my deepest sympathy in your great loss. Sam Gamble

Dear Mrs. Shuman, Wendy, Michael, Tom and families. With heartfelt and deepest sympathy for you in your time of sorrow.
I had the honour of working with Tom at the Kirkland Lake Police Service for five years, and he was truly a policeman’s policeman. I could always count on Tom’s support, no matter what the situation. He was a great friend to both Heather and I. To Gertie, Tom Jr., Michael and Wendy, we send our heartfelt sympathy during this difficult time.
