SMITH, Thomas Edward (Bob) 1923 - 2012
Our dear Tom/Bob passed away peacefully after a brief illness at Toronto General Hospital on Tuesday September 11th surrounded by his loving wife of 62 years, Mabs (Lane) and adoring children Elaine and Peter. He enjoyed an evening surrounded by his wonderful grandchildren Jennifer and Melissa Smith; and Stephanie, Ben and Paige Maxwell; his son-in- law Gord and daughter-in-law Kim; with loving thoughts from his grandchildren in BC, Stephen and Chris Hurley, sons of Tom's beloved deceased daughter Susan (Smith Hurley) Dufton. Tom was a proud great-grandpa to Jackson Hurley (son of Steve) and Althea Susan Hurley (daughter of Chris). Tom will be missed terribly by his family and friends in England and Canada. His great sense of humour will be missed by all who knew him. We are especially grateful to all of Tom's doctors and the medical staff at Toronto General Hospital for their loving care and concern for him and our family. We welcome all our friends and family to a Celebration of Tom's Life on Friday October 5, 2012 at 11:30 am at Humber Valley United Church, 76 Anglesey Blvd, Toronto followed by a reception in the church hall. In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, the family would greatly appreciate donations to Toronto General & Western Hospital Foundation, please specify 'Curing Kidney Disease Fund'.
