Tom Hughes
September 19th, 1936 to June 30th, 2007
Hughes, Thomas ‘Tom’ William (1936-2007)
It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of Thomas ‘Tom’ William Hughes on June 30, 2007 at the Bluewater Health Palliative Care. Surrounded by his family, Tom succumbed to a brief but courageous battle with cancer. His character throughout the fight will always remain a source of inspiration.
Born in 1936 in Westmount, Quebec, Tom was the son of the late Martin & Mary Hughes. After many years of work with local insulators union 95 in Sarnia, Tom moved to Cape Breton, Nova Scotia where he met his wife and life companion Wenda Lee Walker. They returned to Sarnia area in 1978 and together he and Wendy raised their three children. Tom was president of Hughes Industrial Inc., a company he founded in 1994 and continued as president until the onset of his illness in March 2007. Tom was a devout sports fan and a lifelong supporter of the Montreal Canadiens, but his true passion was for the Notre Dame Football team and proudly flew the flag in honour of the team. Tom will be fondly remembered by the many young boys he coached in hockey in the Corunna area and by those he served so well as president of the Mooretown Flags hockey team from 1987-1989. He most recently sat proudly on the executive of the Sarnia Sturgeon Football organization. As well, the years he spent as a ‘Big Brother’ without a doubt enriched the lives of those he touched.
Left to mourn their loss, but treasure their memories are his wife of 37 years Wendy (Walker), sister and close friend Angela (Alex) MacDonald, son Tom (Vancouver), Ryan (Amy Grant) Sarnia, daughter Natasha (John Germain) Toronto and constant companion Hugo. He is also survived by his and pride and joy, his grandchildren: Sydney and Morgan Hughes (Sarnia), Cameron and Leo Germain (Toronto), and many nieces and nephews. Visitation will be held at D.J.
