Thomas and Alma married in 1957. They moved from Liverpool to Calgary in 1965. He retired as a valued specialist, after working at a Calgary firm. He started his career as a dockyard labourer.
He loved music and cruises to Princess. His Mercedes E420 gave him joy, and he liked trips to Banff and Kananaskis. Thomas supported his family greatly; people will remember his great qualities.
His grandchildren are Kevin and Carrie-Anne. Ariel, Ciara, and Rinka are his great-grandchildren. John Butler and Mary Black are his siblings. John Black is his brother-in-law. Many nieces, nephews, and friends survive him.
Alma, his wife, and his son, Colin Gedling, died before him. A viewing will be held February 9, 2025, from 1 to 2 p.m. The funeral is February 9, 2025, at 2 p.m. Both are at McInnis & Holloway, Calgary. The family invites people to a reception afterward.
