Neil, Thomas Wilson – died on September 16th, 2016, at home in Beaver Bank, N.S. Born in Halifax on September 12th, 1959, he was the son of the late Wilson Muir Neil and (Isma) Ann (Foster/Neil) Holowaty, Saskatchewan.
Tom spent his early years in Victoria, BC. After his father’s death, he and his family moved to Kinora, Saskatchewan. In 1966, his Mom married Alex Holowaty and they moved to Veregin Saskatchewan.
In 1977, at the age of 18, Tom came east, and following in his father’s footsteps, he joined the navy. He did his basic training at Cornwallis in N.S. He served as an engineer (stoker) on the Preserver and his last posting was the Margaree.
After leaving the navy, Tom worked for Farmer’s as an Independent Distributor, delivering milk in Dartmouth and Halifax. He spent several years at Philip Environmental and worked at Convergys as technical support. Wherever he worked he made friends and was well known for his unique sense of humor.
Tom’s passion was bikes. He loved his Harley and was happiest when riding; helmet free, on the old twisty roads of Nova Scotia. When spending time at Power Trend Cycle in Dartmouth, he was in his element. Camping with the Vanners was something he looked forward to, hanging with Steve and the boys.
Tom is survived by his daughter Jodi Ann Mae Neil, son Andrew (Shelley) Oderkirk, their children Ethan and Ryan, mother Ann Holowaty, brother Grant (Bev), Yorkton, SK, sisters Gloria (Brad) Dufour, Regina, SK, Debbie Dalley, Middle Sackville N.S., Beverly (Reiner) Brittner, Regina, SK, and Mary Ann (Phil) Eiswirth, Edmonton, AB, many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. His ex-wife Joan Oderkirk and her family, Richard, Glenn, Marlene, Pam and Mary, wish to extend their deepest sympathy to family and friends near and far.
Tom loved to be with his family and friends sharing humorous stories, making people laugh. The family is especially grateful for his friends Regina, Tania, Steve, Lennie and Milford, the rest of you know who you are!
Many thanks to Dr. Finlay Spicer for his patient, understanding care.
Cremation has taken place. A celebration of Tom’s life will take place at home in Beaver Bank on October 1st, 2016, at 3pm. No flowers please. Feel free to make donations to Soul’s Harbour Rescue Mission, Hope Cottage or a Charity of your choice.
