Thomas Roy Duke
1953-2017
It is with profound sadness that the family of the late
Thomas Roy Duke announce his passing. Following a short battle with
esophageal cancer, surrounded by his loving family, Tom passed on
Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at The Moncton Hospital. Born in Tracadie, NB,
he was the son of the late John and Margaret (Golding)
Duke.
Tom was a retired Air Traffic Controller with Nav- Canada in
Riverview. He was also LCol (Red’t) CO of The
8th Canadian Hussars. After serving in the CAF
home and abroad for 42 years, Tom’s interests were anything
involving airplanes, military and travel. As well as being an
entrepreneur and having a passion for business, he thoroughly enjoyed
making a deal with everyone he had business with. His passion for
business, work, and helping the less fortunate made for a very busy
life which he thrived on. He was never idle but always had time for
the most important part of his life – his family, which he
was very proud of.
He will be sadly missed by his loving wife Judy (Mawhinney);
children Natalie, Thomas Jr., and Emma; his special friend,
« Paws »; brothers Richard (Paulette) and Kenneth both
of Fredericton; father-in-law Ralph Mawhinney; brother-in-law John
Mawhinney; as well as his nieces and nephews. Besides his parents, he
was predeceased by an infant brother Gary; an infant sister Margaret;
and his mother-in-law Irene Mawhinney.
The family will be receiving relatives and friends at
Cobb’s Funeral Home and Cremation Center, 330 Whitepine Rd.,
Riverview on Thursday from 2-4 & 6-8 with parish prayers and
sharing of memories taking place at 7:30pm. A funeral service will
take place at Cobb’s Funeral Home Memorial Chapel on Friday,
March 31, 2017 at 10:30am with Father Charles Broderick presiding and
Rev. Jerry Reddy assisting. In lieu of flowers, Tom would appreciate
donations to Hospice Moncton, Charlotte Co. Cancer Society, Local Food
Banks or a memorial of the donor’s choice. Online
