Obituary for Thomas Stanley "Tom" Atfield

Thomas Stanley "Tom"  Atfield
Tom was encompassed by the love of his family when he suddenly passed at the Brantford General Hospital in the early hours of September 3rd. Tom was 69 years of age and was fortunate to have his wife Heather by his side for 35 of those years. Between his, hers and ours, Tom and Heather gave this world six unique children in Lori (Chris), Carolyn (Mike), Jeff, Lisa (Matt), Ian (Jess) and Ted. With Brad (Jenn) introduced into the family, Tom became a Grandfather then many times over with Nicky, Shawner, Cam (Chantel), Dalton, Ryan, Jason and Amirah added to the mix. Austin, Kane and another on the way have also given him the distinction of Great-Grandfather. He was predeceased by his father Edward "Bud" and mother Mary as well as his father-in-law Arthur. Tom was a Millwright by trade, but had many other passions in his life besides his family. He was a part of the family split on the Habs side of the rivalry, but he could still be found watching many Leafs games. He had an appreciation for automobiles, especially the cars of his youth and those found at all types of race tracks. He also enjoyed his music and most memories of Tom will be that of the days when he could be found around a kitchen table strumming his guitar, smoking a cigarette with a beer on the table sharing laughs with those he loved. He will be missed by many extended family members and all of those whose life he touched. A special thanks to the staff at the BGH especially the nurses in the CCU that made this difficult time easier on the family. The family will receive friends on Thursday, September 7, 2017 at the DENNIS TOLL FUNERAL HOME, 55 Charing Cross Street, Brantford from 6- 9 p.m. A funeral service celebrating Tom’s life will be held in the chapel on Friday at 2 p.m. Cremation to follow. In lieu of flowers donations to the Alzheimer’s Society of Brant in Tom's name would be appreciated.
