It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Thomas (Tom) Henderson Thomson on September 17, 2020 in his 83rd year. Tom was born in Glasgow, Scotland, but called Canada his home. He was pre-deceased by his beloved wife of 44 years, Grace (nee Tolmie). Loving and devoted father of Heather (Carson Donahee) and cherished grandfather of Michael Donahee. Tom is survived by his sister Catherine Moody of Palm Beach, Australia. Loving uncle to Shevaun Moody (Jamie Jablonski), Robyn Moody (Jodie Foley) and Fraser Tolmie (Cassandra). Tom was a loving father and grandfather who devoted his life to his family. He was the number one fan of his grandson and the Brampton 45s 2008 AA minor hockey team. Tom enjoyed cheering on his grandson and his minor hockey teammates and attended as many of his grandson’s games as he could over the many years.
