I'm shocked and sadden by the news of Tom's passing. I had gone to school with Tom and he worked on our family farm in Saskatchewan.Everyone that ever met Tom loved him including our family. Tom was kind, easy going, fun loving, caring, would help anyone that needed it. I don't know anyone that could do a better donkey call then Tom! I had the privilege and honor recently to speak at a life long good friends memorial and one of the memories I spoke of was when Loretta, Tom and I were driving back from the farm to Calgary my car had trouble and we had to stay overnight in Hanna. Putting all our money together we got one room with two beds and the left over was to get something to eat for supper. Loretta speaking up said she'd go to the corner store and get something for supper. When she showed up with donuts and watermelon Tom laughed so hard he fell of the bed going

"you couldn't have got bologna and a loaf of bread"!! We've laughed over that night many times over the years. Tom's laugh was infectious! He will be truly missed! Loretta, please take care of Tom for us?? Julie Schuh

It is a difficult day in my life. I only found out of the passing of Tom and was saddened by the news. I remember him well and blessings to Tom and his families. Al Herback

My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Hamel family. Many blessing to you all.

Sorry to hear of Tom's Passing. Known Tom and Family since the 60's he will be Sadly Missed God Bless.

I'm so grateful Tom was part of my life growing up. I played with his kids almost every day and I loved being greeted at the door by him. He had an ability to make you feel really special and silly at the same time. All my love to his family.

Friend and neighbour of Tom as well as the Hamel family in (Highwood) Calgary. Rest in Peace Tom. Cy Perl
