Tom worked in the construction industry for many years as a Superintendent of Construction with Fraser Brace / Walter Construction. Tom initially moved to Halifax with his family to work on the Killam Library and continued to make Halifax his home, since then working on such projects as the (new) Halifax Infirmary, St. Martha’s Regional Hospital, the Dartmouth Water Treatment Plant to name a few. Tom had a great love of baseball, fishing, storytelling and dogs. He played right field (#9) for the 1956 Peakes Bombers Island Champions. Tom loved to fish and spent many pleasurable hours over the years at some of his favorite spots. Also known as a great storyteller, Tom liked nothing better than having his family and friends around where stories and laughs were traded. A Celebration of Tom’s life will be held later this summer in St. Teresa, Prince Edward Island.
