It is with profound sadness but peaceful hearts that Tom’s family announces his passing on Thursday, July 18, 2013 after a bravely fought battle with cancer. Survived by his wife of 41 years, Jacqulyn, their children Mary-Kathleen and Patrick (Tomoko), granddaughter Erika and soon to be born, grandson Thomas, brother, Fr. Gerald Dunn and sister Patricia. Predeceased by parents John and Gertrude Dunn, sister MaryEllen and brother John.
He was appointed and proudly served as Honorary Lt Colonel and Honorary Colonel of the Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton) Regiment from 1993 to 2002. As Honorary, he enjoyed the opportunity of meeting with soldiers of the unit, participating in their training. He travelled to Bosnia to meet unit soldiers posted there. He maintained his great pride and interest in the unit to the end. Tom was a man of many parts, an artist, competitive shooter, teacher, mentor, family historian, proud Lorne Scot, pickle master, single malt aficionado, dance instructor, lover of all things Irish and scallywag from a young age, a true and faithful friend, husband and father. He will be sorely missed but he leaves us with wonderful stories to tell of our adventures with him. Our Wild Colonial Boy!
