Father Tom and I were high school classmates at St. Anne's in Tecumseh. His outgoing personality and readiness to laugh made him a favorite of all. I remember attending a party and spending the entire evening chatting with him about 'his calling.' Several years later I was honored to attend his ordination and first mass. Fr. Tom certainly touched the lives of many and was a true disciple of Christ. May he rest in eternal peace. Joan Fitzpatrick

Father Tom was such a wonderful priest! He baptized our granddaughter and renewed our wedding vows. We came from LaSalle every Sunday to listen to his uplifting homilies. Fr. Tom left a lasting impression on us that we are eternally grateful for. Maureen and Rob Carter

We have lost not just a special priest - but a special person. There are so many wonderful memories of Fr. Tom not only from St. Christopher's but from St. Vincent de Paul too. Many times his homily was the answer to prayers and to this day some of his wisdom is with me. A signed copy of The Peucean Homilies sits in the stack of books by my bed - offering his words of wisdom when I need them. Memories of him and his dog Portia - his patience - his laughter when he blessed the vehicles for the Feast of St. Christopher - his sense of humour. He inspired his parishoners to be good examples - who can forget the request for a few extra items for the food bank that resulted in the narthax of St. Vincent de Paul to be filled to overflowing? Our loss is Heaven's gain - and I am guessing that he is already up to mischief. We need more priests like him. My deepest sympathies to his family and to Mary and the Fuerth family. Fr. tom - you will be greatly missed - but you touched so many lives in the very best way. May he rest in peace.

Sincere heartfelt condolence to family and friends. Father Tom and Mary Moussesau welcomed our family at St. Christopher’s Church in 1998. Leading by example, he taught us the value of time, talent & treasure. Always practicing and/or lived what he preached in his “Pucean” way, leaving all parishioners in awe with his anecdotes. We are truly blessed and have beautiful memories of our children’s sacraments bestowed by Father Tom thru the years. We continue to remember Fr. Tom reverently daily when we prepare meals with the cutting board crafted with his hands year ago! Forever grateful Fr. Tom youthful approach in praising God. Fr. Tom made an impactful and sustaining impression on our family. He was a true beacon, shining bright and leading us in the right path! Dan, Nathalie, Daniel & Matthew Woods

To the Family of Fr. Tom: It is with great sadness that I learn of the passing of Fr. Tom. My son was Fr. Toms first Baptism when he came to Blessed Sacrament in Chatham after his Ordination. Our family has always had a spot in our hearts for this fine Priest. He truly was what all people should strive to be. Even though it is our loss here on earth we can all be assured he will greet us in heaven when it is our turn to go home. Forever in our hearts Brian and Michelle Elgie
