Gordon - Thomas A.

June 14 1933 – December 1 2019

It is with great sadness that we share the news of Tom’s passing at the age of 86.

Born in Westport, Tom lived with Barbara, his wife of 50 years, in Arlington Woods, Nepean. He led a proud and distinguished career as an educator and principal with the Ottawa Carleton District School Board. Tom also had a passion for gardening and building – and for walking on the sand in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Tom will be affectionately missed by his wife Barb, his children Christopher (Heather) and Jennifer (Steven Herzog), and his grandchildren Julie, Ryan, Liam, Mark, and Rachel; the kids send much forever love to their Gramp.

Thank you to the many physicians and specialists who have contributed to Tom’s care over the last few years at Rideau Valley Health, the Queensway Carleton Hospital, the Ottawa Hospital, and the Ottawa Heart Institute.

A memorial service will be held at the Garden Chapel of Tubman Funeral Homes, 3440 Richmond Rd., Nepean, ON, on Tuesday, December 10, 2019 at 11:00 am.

In lieu of flowers, donations to CHEO or Queen’s University are sincerely appreciated. Online condolences and tributes may be shared at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com.
