Tom is remembered as a gifted orthopaedic spine surgeon, who served as a war surgeon in the Nigerian Civil War, taught at the University of Toronto and Toronto Western Hospital, and mentored many generations of surgeons.

He also supported the National Ballet School, Canada’s National Badminton Team, and cared for patients with scoliosis and spina bifida. Tom lived a full and adventurous life, including global travels, canoeing, gardening, beekeeping, and woodworking at his farm in Creemore.
