Condolence From: Leonard Donnelly, Master, 3rd Ontario District, Cardinal McGuigan Province
Condolence: On behalf of all of the members and their families of the 3Rd Ontario District, Cardinal McGuigan Province, 4th Degree Knights of Columbus I would like to express our condolences to the family of our departed brother, Sir Knight Tom Bubba who was called home to Our Lord on Tuesday August 23, 2016.
The death of any Brother Knight leaves a hole in our ranks but he will live on in our memories and his participation and diligent work in Bishop Scollard Assembly gives us a model to aspire to. At the age of 104 years Sir Knight Tom was certainly the oldest member in our District and one of, if not, the oldest in the order.
As we bid farewell to our brother, we are saddened by the loss of his physical presence among us but joyful that he is now in the company of the God who created him in a place of light and peace.
Be assured of our prayers for Sir Knight Tom, as well as for yourselves, at this difficult time.

Condolence From: Lorraine (Lori) Sunday Town of Blue Mountain
Condolence: Bubba Family: My sincerest sympathy! Tomi was a sweet, charming,most kind gentleman who was one of my dad's 3 best friends. My dad, Al,& Tomi shared the same birth date, but Tomi was 5 yrs.older.
When Tomi attended my dad's 90th B/D party in 2006 I informed him that I started to organize dad's 100th in 2016 & that he would be @ the head table also. With his sense of wit his reply "Lori, you really are pushing it, but I will try to stay alive for that one! My dad passed 2 days after his 95th B/D celebration in 2011. Tomi was by my side @ J&B's funeral home telling me to be strong for my family knowing that I just lost my best friend! Holding my hand tightly & squeezing it frequently he kept offering words of encouragement while talking about his friendship with my dad. His power of speech will not be forgotten!
Tomi is now with his wife, my dad,& Ron Richardson. They are probably sharing stories while eating & drinking wine & watching how we deal with sadness.
Bubba family: As Tomi said to me: "Be strong for the family & guide them now & always with love, affection & understanding!"
Allow beautiful memories to sustain you. I send you hugs
Thank you, Tomi,!

Condolence: The Bubba family: My sincerest sympathy! Tomi was the sweetest, charming,& most kind gentleman who was one of my dad's 3 best friends. My dad, Al,& Tomi shared the same birth date Sept.15,but Tomi was 5 years older.

His reply,"Lori, you are really pushing it, but I will try to stay alive for that one!"
Dad passed away 2 days after his 95th B/D in 2011. Tomi was by my side @ the funeral parlor telling me to be strong for the family--when he knew that I just lost my best friend. He held my hand tightly while the Knights of Columbus had their brotherly ritual. His tight hand squeezes & words of encouragement will not be forgotten.
Tomi is now with his wife, my dad,& Ron Richardson & they are probably sharing stories while eating, drinking wine, watching how we deal with sadness.
Bubba family--be strong together & allow beautiful memories sustain you. I send you hugs
