Passed peacefully away on July 7, 2017 at the age of 72 years. Thomas was a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Thomas was a fisherman by occupation and worked at other occupations following the 1992 moratorium. He had a fine sense of humour and an engaging manner, and he could be counted upon to share his ongoing interests in current affairs, at times passionately. He was loved by many and those who knew him will miss his anecdotes, stories, and his enjoyment of life. He leaves to mourn with fond and loving memories, his loving Wife, Myrtle; children Tammy (James) and Tommy; step-daughter Linda (Garfield); grandchildren Stacy, Matthew, Ryan, Madison, Chloe; great-grandchildren Kaden, Amie, Katie, and Dante; brothers Alfred (Maude), Frederick; sister Christina (Melvin); and a wide circle of nephews, nieces, and friends. He was predeceased by his parents Stephen and Jeanetta; brothers Erastus, Archibald, Ulet; and sister Emily Decker. Visitation was held from St. Matthew’s Anglican Church in Cook’s Harbour from where the funeral took place on July 11, 2017 with Rev. Katie Flynn officiating. Interment followed in the Wild Bight Anglican Cemetery. Funeral arrangements entrusted to Kerry M. Fillatre’s Funeral Home, Siobhan Ebukwe, funeral director.
