2023, Atomic Rooster, Bank Street, Ottawa, ON, Canada
Tom and I would often head to a local pub for a late nightcap, after our busy evenings were winding down. It was a great way for a couple of bachelors to enjoy the city before heading off to bed, with the possibility of engaging others in conversation to stretch the day long.

Tom had a very wry sense of humour. There was always a joke and there was always the time when he would come to me to consult on a good Italian restaurant or what was going on during Italian Week. I loved his interest in trivia. I am very saddened with this news and I hope that in time, all these wonderful memories will bring solace to his family and friends.

To the Family and Friends: I wish I had the words to lighter your pain and sadness, but sometimes words are just not enough.  I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.  I will remember Tom, as a kind and loving person.   When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure...I will never forget you, Tom.

Very sad about this. Wishing courage to all that have known Tom and loved him. He was a great, sensitive and loving human.

I created this image of Tom for his 40th birthday. It is not the best picture of him and the image quality in this copy is pretty bad, but it makes me smile and it reminds me of the many laughs I shared with Tom, and of his adventuresome and cheeky spirit. I've been living overseas since September and am very grateful to Tom's friends for letting me know about this incredibly sad news. I wish I could join you all. And I still can't believe I won't bump into him on the street when I get home.

I’m sorry I won’t be there to celebrate our friend Tom. My best memories with him were swimming in the Ottawa River at sunset, feeding chickadees at Mer Bleue in autumn, and kayaking to magical islands in the St. Lawrence. In our most recent correspondence, we talked about sailing and paddling on the west coast, where I now live. I love how he loved the water and was up for adventures. Thank you to his Ottawa friends for organizing a special event in his memory.

I met Tom many years ago. He and my deceased wife Astri Reusch were cousins once removed: they shared great-grandparents on the Michaud side. We loved seeing Tom on his visits to Montreal, both with and without his lovely mother Liliane, and sharing stories of adventures and family reminiscences. More recently, he and I were able to find mutual comfort in our sense of the loss of a loved one. I will miss his vitality, enthusiasm, directness and kindness.
