Reside, Thomas Raymond “TR”
Our father, Thomas Raymond “TR” Reside, passed away on Tuesday, November 2nd at the age of 93 after suffering a stroke.
Dad was a generous and loving person who figured out early that life is mostly what you make it. He was blessed with a beautiful one, and he knew it. But he didn’t just let life come at him. Dad invested time in himself, his relationships, his family, and his community to make the most of the blessings he had and to help others make the most of theirs.
This photo of TR was taken only a few weeks ago. You can see in his eyes that the wonder and joy of life were central to him. That’s a great thing to strive for — a great way to live.
Thanks to all of you who have shared your concerns, thoughts, love, and prayers for Dad and for our family. It is so appreciated.
Cheers to TR. Cheers to Life.
Lovingly, Paul (Maggie), Bruce (Cathy), Steven (Nancy), & Helen (Dan).
TR was also the cherished grandfather to Marc (Michelle), Andrew (Shannon G), Erin (Shannon F), Sarah, Amanda, Ben, Emily, Calum, Ty, and Zach, and great-grandfather to Sam, Max, Sawyer, Finn, and Parker. He also had a very special place in his heart for Tracy, Alex, & Jacob.
The family will receive fully vaccinated visitors at the West Chapel of Hulse, Playfair & McGarry, 150 Woodroffe Avenue at Richmond Road on Thursday, November 11th from 5-8pm. The Memorial Service will be private for family only, but for those who wish to view the service livestream on Friday, November 12 at 11am, and to RSVP for the visitation, please visit TR’s obituary page on the funeral home website.
