THOMAS LLOYD WILLIAMSIt is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Tom on Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Tom was born on May 28, 1917, near Lanigan, SK. He is predeceased by his parents, Joseph and Mary; brother, Jack in World War II and loving wife Phyllis (nee Williamson) of 45 years, in 1997. He is lovingly remembered by his son, Calvin; daughters, Marlene (Murray) Schmidt and Sharon (Larry) Kaminski; four grandchildren, Andrea, Lyndon, Charlie, Luke; brothers, Brian (Betty), Bob (Maxine), sister, Anne; numerous nieces and nephews; sister-in-law, Gerda Williamson and long-time friend, Ruth. The highlight of Tom's life was when he accepted the Lord as his personal Saviour at the age of 23 years. In his words, "His feet had never felt lighter." That same year (1940), he enlisted in the RCAF and served as a flight engineer air-gunner with postings in England, Scotland & lastly with 423 Squadron in Castle Archdale, Ireland until the war ended. Later he attended the Canadian Bible College and was then employed as a maintenance engineer with the Regina Public School Board for twenty-eight years. Tom will always be remembered for his quick sense of humour, love of telling stories, hospitality, his love and concern for his family and last but not least for his passion to boldly share the message of the gospel that had changed his life, with anyone who would listen. The family wishes to express special thanks to the staff from 3-5 at the Wascana Veteran's unit for their excellent care of Tom during his stay there. Interment will be held at 11:00 a.m., on Friday, October 11, 2013 at Regina Memorial Gardens. Memorial service to follow at 2:00 p.m., Heritage Alliance Church, 3575 Hillsdale St. with Rev. Cory Steinson officiating. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Mi Lin Lau (NECM); David & Jonathan Inc.; Far Eastern Broadcasting (FEBCanada).
