Dear Rosemary and Family,
Pastor Tom truly portrayed (and taught) "being the church"! I loved how he encouraged people to eat ice-cream... It happened to me a few times! It was a beautiful service today! I send my love and prayers, Karen (Haas, previously Hango)
To the Family,
You do not know me, I do not know you. However, please know the interest and pleasure the obituary of T.P.R. Needham created in me. Having also had international experience and a church background, it was wonderful to read about such a wonderful man!

We will remember you in prayer Rosemary and your family in this time of grief. Separation hurts yet we rest in the Hope we have in Christ. Perhaps you don't remember Sherman and I, but Sherman and Tom were great friends during the high school years in Petrolia. A few years back we met you for the first time and enjoyed a meal together at the Oil Rìg restaurant here in Petrolia. Tom's life, in reading here, was filled with great accomplishment. Sherman and I knew him well in those early years and I don't remember anyone who didn't like Tom. He was such a pleasure to be around and always making us laugh. He will be missed. May God bring peace and comfort beyond your understanding. We extend our deepest sympathy....Carolyn and Sherman Parr
With heartfelt sympathy for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Wishing you much love and support.

Tom was an amazing man of convictions. Whatever he said was going to be done was done and always followed through. Clarissa, family and I spent 4 years in CFB Trenton serving alongside Tom and Rosemary, and Art & Bev Crawley. There were a lot of memories: the Men’s Group (the Heavenly Friars - still have the apron) serving at the AirShow; the Youth Group; a diverse Chapel of many wonderful people; our Chaplain’s And Spouse Visits to Toronto for Musicals - thanks to Jan Brown, etc, etc. And most recently our visit at your place in Regina last summer. Blessings and peace be with you
Met Tom ans Rose in Gagetown and we became friends and always kept contact left for Cyprus followed by Germany where I visited him in the hospital following his serious accident! He was a caring man in all aspects of his life and situations always remaining positive facing all challenges facing him! My deepest condolences to you all Rosemary and Family!
Your friend
