MAJ (RET) "TOMMY' THOMAS

23/2/2021

It is great sadness that we have lost another leader in the Air Cadet Community.

Maj (Ret) "Tommy" Thomas had a huge heart for Cadets and Staff, he was with the Air Cadet League for more than 30 years, most of those years, as the Squadron and Regional Director in our area.

He was very instrumental in organizing the Glider Interview process for the League in the Trenton area. He attended, for many years, all of the Summer Training graduations 2nd, 3rd and 6 week courses and of course the Glider Course, and presented many awards.

 
He will be missed at our 608 Annual Ceremonial Reviews, which he has attended for years.

Thomas, Claud (Tommy)... who sadly passed away at Belleville General Hospital, after a brief illness, on Monday February 22, 2021 in his 87th year. Pre-deceased by his loving wife and friend of 57 years of the late Jean Thomas. Cherished father of Stephen and his wife Theresa of Trenton and David and his wife Karen of California. Sadly missed by grandchildren; Collin (wife Ashleigh), Jennifer (Jordan), Zachary, Jacqueline (fiancée Liam), Kaitlyn and Mychaela. Loved and sorely missed by his partner Sue Frauts. Tommy is survived by his sister Carol Thomas of England.

Tommy spent 38 years in aircraft maintenance in both RAF and the RCAF, as well as being an active member of 413 Wing, RCL Branch 110 and as a CIC officer with Air Cadet League of Canada. He will be sadly missed by all and his legacy will be ever remembered. In honouring Tommy's wishes, he will be cremated with details with respect to services and celebration of life to be determined. Inurnment will be held at St. George's Cemetery in the springtime. Arrangements in care of the Weaver Life Centre, 29 Bay Street, Trenton. As expressions of sympathy, donations to the (charity to be decided) would be appreciated by the family.
