I was very sorry to read that Tom has passed away. He was such a wonderful man and both Bill and I always looked forward to his visits every two weeks with our fresh haddock. His visits were more than just delivering fish to us...it was usually a wonderful social visit. I introduced Tom to my grandson who just graduated from the Nautical Institute in Port Hawkesbury. My grandson had just spent a year at sea doing his cadet internship and Tom had lots of stories to tell. It was a great conversation on both sides. He was a fine man, a fine gentleman and an all round nice guy. He will be missed at our home. I sent his obituary on to Archbishop Martin Currie in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. When Tom would come to our home I always took his photo and sent them on to the Archbishop so he was well aware of Tom's busy life selling fresh fish. I send along my deepest sympathy to all the family. Tom is one man who will not be replaced. His life story belongs in a book. Rest In Peace Tom.

I'm sadden to hear the passing of my Uncle Tom as he was always a jolly man. I remember when i was a little girl , at the age of 7 or 8, the whole family visited uncle tom and aunt lottie in season for strawberries and they had a hugh strawberry patch!!! if i had to guess i would say that they planned the whole thing out for the time to pick. We did enjoy picking the strawberry for them but i have to say the best was eating them. We got sooooo sick as when we were putting them in the basket it was one for the basket and two for me. lol it was all the kids picking and the older ones went to the fair... something wrong with that ... lol with all that said it was always a great time when we visited and enjoyed the time sitting on uncle toms laps as we all chatted. I love you and will miss you. now we have another angel watching over us all. i didn't have a picture to put up here so i wanted to share this little memory of my time with him. All my love to to family in this time of sadness. Love you all. Colleen Sheppard
