Death notice for the town of: Liverpool, Province: Nova Scotia
I met Tom and Pam when taking care of him while he was still living in their beautiful home. I found him to be a quiet gentleman and Pam certainly to be a lady. My sympathies go to Pam and families for their grief. Just knowing he’s in a better place taking care of everyone’s dental care with his gentlemanly manner and humor. God bless to all.
