QUINTON, Thomas “Tom”
1956 – 2022
It is with deep sadness, that we announce the passing of Thomas Joseph Quinton on Wednesday, November 16th, 2022.
After a lengthy, complicated and a very courageous health battle, Tom took his last peaceful breath at Health Sciences North in Sudbury, at the age of 66.
Predeceased by his Father, Laurence (Larry)Arthur Quinton (1999), and his baby brother, Timothy (Tim)Laurence Quinton (2000), he sadly leaves behind his beloved mother, Irene Quinton of Kirkland Lake, his sister Darlene Quinton, his niece Samantha (Marcel) Langlois and his proud role as “Uncle Tom”, to Owen, Ashton, Sawyer and Birdie.
It was in Matagami, Quebec where Tom would perfect his skills in hockey, baseball, lacrosse, golfing – and of course – his true passion of curling. During his lengthy time curling, whether it was weekly draws or bonspiels, he was always visible on the ice. Tom’s work life commenced in Matagami, Quebec as the arena manager, known by many as the “Iceman”. It was very evident that he enjoyed his job because of his immense love and passion for the rink…
Tom relocated to Kirkland Lake in 1993, and quickly found his new sacred spot at the Kirkland Lake Curling Club where he enjoyed curling most, but you could also find him tending bar and being around his second family he called his friends.
Many didn’t know but Tom loved baseball and everything involved and could also be seen on the ball fields whenever he was needed to umpire in baseball tournaments.
As stubborn as Tom could be, he was loved by everybody and was best known to be a gentle soul and that’s what everyone admired most about him.
In honour of Tom’s wishes donations can be made to the Kidney Foundation.
