Cindy(wife) and I are very saddened by the passing of Tom. I am privileged to have served with Tommy as a Bolton Ambulance Volunteer, in fact Tommy was instrumental in training me and many of the other Volunteers. His dedication and passion for the service was un-paralleled.
My wife worked with Sheila at Wedgbury, Christian & Cotnam accountants for a number of years, I understand that Sheila was a keen participant of the Friday afternoon office wind down!
Cindy and I offer our deep condolences to Sheila and her family at their tremendous loss.

I’m at a loss for words, I’ve known the Simpsons my whole life..Without Tom and Sheila I never would have learned to swim, ride a bike, or make a paper airplane.. They had Anne and myself as house guests for many years.. I grew up with Jackie, Valarie, and Geoffrey, their like my sisters and brother.. My Condolences to Sheila, who taught me so much, who could make me giggle and laugh out loud even when I was grumpy and blue.. And to the children of Thomas and Sheila Simpson, Blessings, your always in my thoughts and my heart..

Sheila and Family. We were shocked to hear of Tom’s passing, what a shame, he was your rock. I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago in the grocery store at length..
He will be missed.

Tom was a very generous soul and a beacon of positive, kind energy.
He was a real community builder.
God bless you Tom

Dear Tom – gentle soul, kind and caring friend, patient and learned mentor to the many of us he took
under his wing, during our years together on the Bolton Volunteer Ambulance Service. My heart is
saddened by our earthly loss of Tom’s physical presence, but know he remains a constant in each of our lives through the memories he leaves with us all. Tom, you have more than earned your angel wings. My sincerest condolences to Sheila and the family at this difficult time.
Mary

It was just awful to learn of the terrible accident that ultimately caused Tom’s death. Relative to what his family must feel at this time our feelings pale by comparison. I just can’t imagine. Our thoughts and prayers are with them at this time.
I knew all of the Simpson family, Tom, Sheila, Jackie ,Valerie and Geoffrey. I can only say good things about all of them. Tom and Sheila instilled values in them that are rarely seen today. Tom with Sheila by his side was a great success as a father and a husband to say the least.
His contribution to the community goes back many years , specially to Bolton Ambulance ,which is how I met him and his contributions are to many to list . I would like to say that a few years back when he was acknowledged by the Town of Caledon for his contributions made me very happy, because Tom was one of those people that just kept doing his bit no questions asked .
It was a privilege to have known him , he will be missed well beyond his family I am sure.

To the Family of Tom Simpson –
I met Tom when I began working with Sheila at Wedgbury & Christian in 1988.
I shall remember Tom as a very kind, warm and genuinely friendly man.
May your wonderful memories and the love of those around you, help comfort you through his difficult time. “Those who have touched our lives in many ways, will never be forgotten.”
With caring thoughts,
Beverly Jones

Thinking of you at this difficult time. Keep your memories close to your heart as they will help you through the coming days.
Steve and Candy Derbyshire

All the memories will not be forgotten. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Simpson family. Such a loss for our community. I know my parents, John and Martha Barton will cherish all the wonderful times they spent together. All our love and support from John, Martha and Gerilee.

Such sadness to hear of Tom’s tragic passing. My prayers are with you all.
Like so many others I was fortunate to have met him during my time with Bolton Volunteer Ambulance Service. ‘Tommy’ didn’t just teach us the first aid ‘stuff’, he inspired us to be proud of what we were doing and why. The job was to help those in need but also to be there for our community. He taught that giving was more important than taking. Bolton Volunteer Ambulance Service was also its own community of caring people and the ‘back bone’ of that community was ‘Tommy’. He gave so much to us all in such a quiet way.
Rest in peace Tommy, you will never be forgotten.
Bunny

Although we both volunteered in the Bolton Ambulance Service for over 21 years, it was you Tom who inspired me to join after you taught me first aid. It was your dedication, caring attitude, professionalism and true integrity as a human being that inspired some of the finest people I have ever met to join our organization. We have attended to many calls on Highway 9, but in this case, you were the victim of a horrific crash, and we were left praying that you might survive more than just 6 days with extensive injuries. Tom, you are a tribute to Sheila and your whole family as well as the Town of Bolton. I will miss socializing over coffee with you, Ray and Harvey. You will not be forgotten.

Ken and Christine Graham

Jackie, Val , Geoff and families, We are so sad to hear of the passing of your dad. Such a sweet and kind man. He will be be remembered fondly by all of us who grew up knowing him. Sending condolences to your mom, may she find comfort in your love and support.

My condolences to Sheila and the entire Simpson family. I have many fond memories of our years as neighbours and Tommy and Jack served together on the Bolton Volunteer Ambulance. He will be sadly missed but fondly remembered. God bless.

It was heartbreaking to hear of the tragic accident Tom & Sheila were in. They have been in Dan & my thoughts ever since, & we were saddened last night to have gotten word Tom had passed away. Dan of course grew up with them & Jackie, Valerie & Geoffrey on Martha Cresent, & has the best of memories, I had cleaned for them for years until Sheila took ill. They were very special to me. I saw Tom last week at McDonalds having his weekly coffee break with his buds:) We had a quick chat, I gave him a hug, & off I went, with him having the last word & a big chuckle! Such a happy man, who lived a long, good life, ending so sadly. Love & blessings sent to you all, prayers for Sheila. May Tom R.I.P. Hugs…

I’m very saddened by the loss of a special human being. Tommy was a wonderful raconteur and would talk to anyone willing to share a beer and a bit of conversation. I’ve known Tommy and Sheila since Sheila began working with my husband David many years ago. Tommy loved his family and has been a steadfast partner of Sheila forever especially in the last few years. I remember attending a 59th anniversary party for Tom and Sheila as Sheila commented that she wasn’t sure “it would last to 60!” Tom gave so much to his community by his specific contributions or just by a few simple words to anyone in need. He was steadfast in his commitment to his family and to his community but always in a quiet unobtrusive manner. We have lost a special person. Rest, Dear Man, for a job well done. Carolyne Wedgbury

Brian & I will miss this wonderful sweet loving man & our bud across the road. There are not enough words so God Bless to you our dear friend Love forever

Brian and Carol xxoo

Sheila,Jackie, Val, Geoff and all Simpson family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time. Tom was a great neighbor and friend over the last thirty six years and he will be missed by all who knew him. Millie and Al

Tommy was always a part of my life., and the strong bond of friendship between his father and my father shaped our childhood, was passed down to us, and has linked us throughout our lives, even though separated by thousands of miles. There will never be another Tommy, and it saddens me to lose him, but he will be with me for ever.

Our heartfelt condolences to you and your family during this sad time.
With deepest sympathies;

Lou Mussari and Family

To Valerie – Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time.

To the Family of Tom Simpson –

It is with a heavy heart to hear the tragic death of Tom. Tom was a dear friend of my husband and I back in the 70’s, we all bowled together we had so much fun. Tom was the most likable guy and I know that he will be missed throughout the neighborhood of Bolton and the Town of Caledon.

Rest in peace Tom, you will never be forgotten.

Valerie and I worked together over many years. I heard many loving stories about Tom and Sheila. My condolences to all the family for the loss of such a courageous and wonderful man.

How sad it was today to hear of Tom’s passing in such a tragic manner. On many occasions while Tom waited outside of Wedgbury Smith Monteith’s office for Sheila, I would have good conversations about events of the day. They were a great couple, a rock for each other and their family.

Hoping you find some comfort in the words of others at this very difficult time.

So sorry Tommy we will miss you at our annual Christmas luncheon. Our condolences to all of the family.

Our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Simpson, Jackie, Valerie and Geoffrey.

All the wonderful condolences covers it all. Such a wonderful husband, father, grandfather and friend. As a neighbour for over forty years Martha Crescent has lost one of the best. May his family know how much Tom was thought of as a friend and appreciated. His memory will live in many, many hearts forever. To the Simpson family, our deepest condolences.

Dear Valerie and family.

Please accept my deepest condolences at the tragic loss of your father.

Words cannot express the emotions felt at this time. Please know my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult point of time.

Heart felt condolences to you and your family.

Ian Dingle

Jean and i were very saddened to learn of Tom’s death. Tom was a very significant influence in my early life in the cycling Club Northwood Wheelers, back in England. I joined the club in 1949 as a 14 year old and Tom was then a founder member of the club, and remained a member until he left for Canada in 1954. He taught me a lot about life – including how to enjoy a beer “get you nose in the suds, son”! We met again in 1982 whwn I was in North Carolina and Tom and Shiela drove down to Chapel Hill, and again a few years later when they returned to the UK on vacation. Please give our condolences to Shiela and the family – we had so many happy memories of those days. With love, David and Jean.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to you and your family Geoff. May peace and comfort find you during this difficult time.

Take care,
Phil

Geoff, Lynn, Claire and Jenna,
We are sorry to hear of your loss, our thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Our deepest condolences to all the Simpson family. We are truly saddened for your loss and although we haven’t seen you for some time, you know you always have friends to lean on. We hope the wonderful memories and admiration for this special man will give you strength in the days ahead.
Hugs always, Arlene & Paul Di Iulio & family

Our deepest sympathies to Sheila, Jackie, Val, Geoff and family.

Tom was a very good and kind man, a proud father and grandfather with many stories to share. I will cherish all of my memories, old and new. I will miss him.

Anne and Mike

We moved to Bolton in 1975, and I joined the Bolton Ambulance service shortly after. Tom was a great person and friend. We also bowled with Tom and Sheila on Thursday nights. We moved to Walsingham in 2004 and miss our Bolton friends. Our sincere condolences to your family.
We are not able to attend Saturdays Service as we have a wedding in Toronto, but would like to attend the celebration of life later.
Tom & Donna McLarty

We are very sorry for loss. Tom was a great neighbour to have during our 26 years on Martha Cres . A.s a volunteer firefighter we did enjoy our social events with the ambulance service and Tom was always there will a big smile on his face.

Fondly remember our indepth conversations, particularly those while out fishing. Wisely taught me that grand children make life eternal. Rest Well.

Geoff, we want to express our sympathy and let you know that our thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

I want to express my deepest sympathies. I met Tommy a handful of times while I was a volunteer member of the Bolton Ambulance Service. I remember him as an energetic, warm and caring person. My thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time.

To the Simpson family
How very sad I am to read of Tom’s sudden and horrific passing.
Tom and Sheila are two remarkable community members that I will always think of for their quiet and ernest dedication to community efforts; for their delightful involvement with family and friends; and for always being there for those in need. It has always been a pleasure to both work together with them and to just exchange a cheerio hello on the street. Their long-time commitment to others is truly respected by all of us who have shared times and experiences with them.
I understand that Tom has been a truly caring stalwart for Sheila in these passed months. His dedication to her well-being is outstanding.
I send my love and respect to the family at this very difficult time.
Sincerely
Carol Seglins

Dearest Sheila and Family:

Words cannot express how saddened we all were to hear of Tommy’s sudden and tragic passing. I speak for those of us Bolton Volunteer Ambulance members that I currently still work with in York Region EMS. Tommy was respected by everyone and will forever hold a special place in our hearts. We will all cherish our memories of this wonderful man we were all privileged enough to call our friend. Sheila and family, you are all in our thoughts and prayers always.

Don and Jackie Smith

We were so sorry to hear of Tom’s sudden and tragic death. Tom was such a wonderful caring person who had a kind word for everyone. He will be sorely missed by his family and friends.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this very difficult time.
I remember Tom had two loves, his draft of beer and his beloved Sheila. Rest in peace.

Jackie and family.
Your welcoming house on Martha crescent was my second home growing up. I will always have fond memories of building forts out the back yard, while drinking grey milkshakes. Your dad was always a great sport about it, and your mom could be counted on to try to comb the knots out of my hair after a thrilling day of adventures.
I feel terrible for your loss, and my thoughts are with you at this time.

Our prayers and deepest sympathy are with all the Simpson clan in the loss of Tommy. He was a kind and caring man, and his family was so important to him, as was his community. He will be missed by many. We know that you will have many good memories and hope that you feel the concern and support of the Bolton community at this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you all.

To Sheila and all the family members:
So sorry to hear the news. Tom was a great guy who was so well known and so well liked.

I am very sorry to hear this. My sincerest condolences.

Scott and Michele Greshuk

Very sorry to hear about Tommy’s passing, we worked together at Sears and would only get together at Xmas for the retirees luncheon. We will still remember you Tommy when we get together each Xmas. God bless you Tommy.

To the family of Tom Simpson

I would like to express my sympathy to you all on the passing of your dad. He was a very likeable caring and gentle man, he along with Sheila would always ask me how my daughter was doing in school. He was kind and very thoughtful. We always enjoyed seeing him at church with Sheila
I wanted to pass on condolences from Alec Bowman and Dawn at Studio 49 in town, they both wanted to come but were away, Rev Dana Johnston, Jeanette Briere, John McFall, Kelly Walker We came today but were in a hurray at the time so didnt have the time to pass on condolences the pictures were lovely God bless from Maureen and Dennis Kowal in Bolton

I was saddened to hear of Tom’s death. Although we have not been in touch for years, the happy memories of our years racing each other in cycle time trials and racing together on my tandem are still strong. My thoughts are with Sheila and the family that I never met. Please pass on my condolences to the family

Sheila and family,
Life is so fleeting! I am so saddened by the sudden tragic death of Tom and it goes without saying that the hole in all your lives will never be filled.
Tom and Sheila were loyal customers of ours at Home Hardware and my late husband , John, always said to Tom–“When you retire, you have a job in the store”. And so it was.
Tom welcomed many friends and acquaintances and truly exemplified the commitment to customer service we cherished. We had so many great encounters and conversations with friends and Tom could always be found among the tools holding forth.
He was someone to depend on and always had a happy positive attitude to life.
My sincere condolences go out to all your family.
Ann Davidson

I am very sorry to hear of Tommy’s passing. He was an amazing devoted husband to Sheila. He was diligent about getting her to the places she needed to be and to get her home again. I worked with Sheila at Christ Church in the financial area and Tommy was a constant loving support to her. They had a really special relationship!
His passing is a terrible loss and he will be greatly missed.
My sincere condolences to Sheila and family.
Julie Haugh Guzzo

They don’t make them like Tom anymore, mores the pity. My sincere condolences to family and friends.

So sorry to hear about Tom’s passing. Such a wonderful couple. I worked with Tom at Davidson’s Home Hardware and Carl fondly remembers his bowling days with Sheila.
Our sincere condolences,

Dear Val …. so sorry to hear about the sudden & tragic death of your Father. My thoughts & prayers are with you, your Mother & all your family.
