Poem
Good memories of our brother Tom, I remember growing up with Tom. He is my favorite brother, When we came to Canada and he was born. The beautiful days together, When Tom was a baby. I used to watch him, I would walk around the playpen. Mom hoped to have a boy with curly hair, So she put rollers in his hair,he looked really cute. When he was older, I remember him going to boy scouts, He was friends with the son of the scout leader. He liked staying at his friends house. When our parents and I went on vacation, he would stay there. Tom was photographed beside the Spruce tree at our parents, house to see how tall he was. He went to elementary school and secondary school and teacher's college and graduated. Tom became a secondary school teacher and taught for many years, He retired and enjoyed his retirement. I remember the years when he met his wife at Erindale College when he was an AV specialist. Father Dr. Wolf was a professor at the college. He proposed to his future wife Gail. They had a beautiful wedding at Pioneer village, I was a bridesmaid at their wedding. Antje you were a flower girl at the wedding. I remember the coach where they rode. Tom and Gail were blessed with two children, Handsome Patrick and beautiful Frieda. Frieda became a teacher like I did, Patrick became a physio-therapist. We have beautiful memories, Do you remember the picnic at Whittchurch conservatiom area years ago. The reunion here at at senior's residence, Each person brought pot luck, a delicious salad. Tom provided the background music, Our parents wished us to sit at one table. I think that it was Christmas, I provided the Santas and Christmas plates. Good time was had by all, We have many good memories. He had many happy years as a retiree, We will always remember our beloved husband,father and brother, also uncle. May God bless you in heaven, You will stay in our memories forever. Author: Gwen von Erlach Schutz
