THOM: David John Thom was born in Edam (Sask) on May 7, 1943. He died at the Abbotsford Hospital (BC) on Sep 4, 2012. Dave was predeceased by his parents Gordie and Mackey Thom. He is survived by his wife Pat and his two sons Aron (Shannon) and Brian (Karen) and their two sons Elwyn and Alden. He is also survived by Pat's sister and six brothers and their families. Dave spent his working life as an X-Ray Technician - for 15 years in Saskatoon, and then for 20 years at the Mission Memorial Hospital. He also liked to build and fix things with all of his tools. Dave and Pat played a lot of bridge for enjoyment and friendship. Dave left us bravely and gently and with great good humour. At Dave's request, there will be no funeral.
