Tom Bartholomew

Tom came to us on May 30, 1969 and left us August 19, 2018. He had a zest for life, and packed a lot of experiences and living into a life far too short.
Memories of Tom will always be in the hearts of his Father and Best Friend Garry, Mother Anne, Sister Tammy (Sloan), and niece Lexie. Also left with cherished memories are his Auntie Joan, Uncle Al (Roshni), Cousins Erin and Aynsley and their families.

Tom (“Gumby”) left a host of close, personal friends from his school years in Coquitlam. As he travelled through the years he amassed yet more friends and acquaintances. All of whom had the pleasure of listening to his boisterous chatter and numerous stories - whether they wanted to or not. The boy never stopped talking! He is now moving on to tell his stories and bend the ears of others in a different place.
Tom’s family sincerely thank the excellent Nurses in the ICU at Royal Columbian Hospital who cared for him and provided support for the family.

A Gathering in Memory of Tom will be held Saturday, September 8, 2018, from 2-4pm in the MacDonald-Cartier room at the Poirier Community Centre in Coquitlam. In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to a charity of your choice.
