HALE, Thomas Wayne "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have kept the faith." 2 Tim. 4:7 62 years. Tom Hale died May 15, 2009 in the arms of Jesus. Devoted husband to Connie (nee Dufour) Hale, Loving father of Chris, Dean and Joel. Son of George Hale and the late Jean (Boxall) Hale. Brother to Gary and Brian Hale. Uncle to Scott and Tara Hale and Sandi-Lynn and Drew Whittaker. Father in law to Sarah (Lacroix) Hale and brother in law to Dave and Nancy Dufour, Pat and June Hale. Best friend to Kevin Dryden, Pat Duronio, Steve Ilijanich, Michael McFadden. My husband fought a courageous battle against cancer. His good fight, in spite of cancer was to enjoy the good things of life capturing precious moments of laughter and love with family and friends. He embraced life with thanksgiving. His sense of humour and his positive attitude helped him finish the race of life well. Through this dark journey Tom kept his faith in a loving God that has prepared a place for him. I thank God for the 33 years I spent with a faithful, loving, hardworking man. I will always remember how we would laugh at our 'little jokes' we enjoyed together and our days of sitting on the tailgate of our jeep eating hotdogs.
