Husband, father, grandfather, community leader, funeral director.
Born December 6, 1918 in Toronto. Died October 22, 2002 in Barrie,
Ontario, of cancer, aged 83.
Tom HUMPHREY was born the only child of Albert (Bert) and Florence
HUMPHREY.
When his father died at the age of 44, Tom's mother
took control of the family firm with the assistance of a manager
until Tom was old enough, in 1939, to obtain his funeral director's
licence.
He and his mother operated both the funeral home and the ambulance
service they provided to the public. As the third generation
HUMPHREY to guide the family business, Tom took great care in
making sure that the firm continued to upgrade its services and
facilities within an ever-changing society.
Active in the community, Tom helped create the Metropolitan and
Provincial Ambulance Groups.
He was also a member of the Toronto Board of Trade; the Masonic
Order, and Bedford Lodge No. 638 G.R.C. for more than 50 years.
Tom also belonged (and held office) in the Rameses Shriners
as well, he was a member for 50 years (in addition to having
served as a past director) of the Royal Order of Jesters Court
83 and a member of the Toronto-Leaside Rotary Club for more than
45 years.
He was one of the founders of the Funeral Society of Ontario
(Fraternal), known today as Guaranteed Funeral Deposits of Canada.
He also served as a director on various boards for several companies
and participated in several professional associations during
his life.
Tom was a member of Toronto's Leaside United Church since 1956,
having served many years as an elder.
Boating was a also great interest -- almost a passion -- to my
father; this led to his becoming the first Commodore of the Big
Bay Point Yacht Club.
Thomas HUMPHREY moved to Thornhill, Ontario, shortly after his
marriage to Lois Belle
LEONARD, the love of his life since their
meeting 70 years ago. Eventually, he and his family moved to
homes in Big Bay Point and the Barrie area in Ontario, providing
him with great personal satisfaction and an ever-increasing and
enlarging circle of Friends.
"His other love in life has been to travel with my mom to wonderful
and exotic locales around the world, with his home time divided
between Ontario and Florida," says his daughter Valerie
DICKSON/DIXON.
Thomas's wife Lois says: "His personal and corporate success
will be long remembered and revered by family, Friends and business
associates. "
Most of all, Tom loved his family members, who meant so much
to him. He will always be missed and loved by his children, grandchildren
and all those who were close to him.
Tom is survived by his wife Lois, daughter Valerie and her husband
Rod DICKSON/DIXON; son Bruce and his wife
Christina
K.
HUMPHREY.
Tom was predeceased by daughter Denise
WATSON and is father-in-law
to John WATSON.
Tom is lovingly remembered by his grandchildren Andrew
WATSON
Sean and Jeffrey
DICKSON/DIXON; and Adam, Jacquelyn and Courtney
HUMPHREY.
Bruce HUMPHREY is Thomas
HUMPHREY's son and president of Humphrey
Funeral Home, A.W. Miles Chapel.
