Tome Tomovski

October 5, 1941 - January 14, 2025

Tome Tomovski, 83, passed away peacefully on January 14, 2025, with family by his side. We were blessed with the chance to tell him how loved he was, and how proud we were to call him Dad and Dedo.

In his 20’s, Tome met and married the love of his life, Susan (Trajka), in Toronto, both having emigrated from Macedonia to Canada. Together, they had three loving sons: Alexander, Nick, and Tome Jr. Despite becoming blind at the age of 30, Tome never let that define him. He embraced life fully, raising his sons with love, strength, and determination, and supporting his family through every challenge. Nothing made him happier than talking about his boys and the joy they brought him. His positivity, sense of humor, and joy for life shone brightest when he was surrounded by his family, including countless uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and grandchildren.

Tome’s great memories will carry us through this difficult time. We are comforted by the thought of his reunion in Heaven with Susan and by knowing that he ‘sees’ anew again. Almost exactly three years to the day after Susan passed away, Tome joins his loving parents Alekso and Menka, his beautiful sister Nevena, and many other cherished relatives in Heaven.

Tome will be dearly missed by his sons Alexander, Nick, and Tome Jr., their wives Rachel, Annika, and Aa-Na, and his seven adoring grandchildren: Braedon, Logan, Kailee, Erik, Amanda, Isabella, and Kaya. He will also be lovingly remembered by the extended Tomovski and Tzongas families.

Rest in peace, Dad. We love you!

Guido De Kerpel

April 30, 1945 - January 15, 2025

In Loving Memory of Guido De Kerpel, beloved husband, father, grandfather, and friend, who passed away peacefully on January 15, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on April 30, 1945, in Belgium, Guido’s life was marked by kindness, curiosity, and a love for connecting with others.

In 1967, Guido and his wife Agnes immigrated to Canada, first settling in Montreal before making their way to London, Ontario, where they built a life and raised their family. Guido worked as a social worker at Victoria Hospital in London, touching many lives with his compassion and dedication. Later, he pursued his passion for antiquing as an antique dealer at Weldwood Antiques, blending his love of history and community. During his time at Weldwood, Guido also started his own private practice in family and marital counseling, continuing to help others with his wisdom and caring nature.

A true adventurer at heart, Guido loved to travel, experiencing the wonders of the world. He was fortunate enough to visit Europe, the USA, the Caribbean, Mexico, and Hong Kong. His curiosity extended to his hobbies as well—whether painting, tackling home repairs, or learning something new, Guido approached each endeavor with enthusiasm and discovery. Guido had a passion for collecting treasures, particularly stamps and coins, appreciating the beauty and stories they held.

A talented musician, Guido found joy in playing the piano and sang for many years with the German/Canadian Choir in London, Ontario. Guido’s family cherished his heartfelt birthday tradition of singing to them, a memory they will forever hold dear.

Guido is survived by his devoted wife, Agnes, with whom he recently celebrated 57 wonderful years of marriage; his sons, Stijn (Katherine) and Daan (Melissa); his grandsons, Nathan and Alex, as well as several members of his immediate and extended family in Belgium.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to the staff at Ballycliffe Nursing Home for their exceptional care and compassion for Guido over the past year. Your kindness brought comfort and support to both Guido and his family during this time, and your efforts will always be appreciated.

Guido’s memory will live on in the hearts of his family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. May he rest in peace, his melody continuing to echo in the lives he touched.

A funeral service will not be held, as cremation has already taken place. A private celebration of life will be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Parkinson’s Society of Southwestern Ontario, the McCormick Day Program in London, Ontario, or a charity of your choice.

For any additional details or inquiries about the celebration of life, please contact the family or share your condolences through the online memorial platform provided.

Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at McEACHNIE FUNERAL HOME.

God gained an Angel. She had the kindest heart. I remember being concerned about fitting into the family, but she reassured me I got the stamp of approval. Coming from her put my mind at ease. If Bonnie approved of me, that was all that mattered. I will miss her dearly. ❤️
