GOULDING, Thomas 'Tom' Christopher - In his 73rd year, after an unforgiving battle with dementia, Tom passed away peacefully in his sleep on Monday, March 22, 2021.
He served as a loving husband of 48 years to Elaine.
Devoted father to Alexandra (Carmelo) and Christopher (Jenna).
Soft-hearted "Grandy" to Will, Isabella, Henry and Baby-to-Be Liliana.
Tom was a professional man with a long and successful career as a mechanical design engineer.
His family and friends may take comfort in their memories of Tom's brightest days; dominating the karaoke mic with the posse, being the life and soul of the party, diving wholeheartedly into Peel Panto Players, and of course, relentlessly defending the football pitch.
From his last years, may we learn to cherish the present and those things which truly matter - family, friends who become family, fearless pursuit of passions, and through it all, enormous fun.
Tom's family wish to thank all at Bethell Hospice for providing comfort and compassion in his final weeks, and appreciate any donations made there to his memory. https://foundation.bethellhospice.org/
At this time due to Covid restrictions the funeral for Tom will be private. In the coming months the family will have a memorial service for Tom to celebrate his life.
