To the Lumley Family: So sorry to hear of your loss. Tom was a kind gentle man and will be missed!
My condolences to the Lumley families. Memories of Tom and his brothers coaching Mooretown minor hockey back in the early 70’s. He drove part time trucking for JA Ford Trucking and mentored me a few times hauling livestock to Toronto when I was starting my trucking career back in the late 70’s. RIP Tom.
My condolences to the entire Lumley family. I have fond memories growing up and playing ball on the field beside the Lumley homestead in Brigden.
In recent years I enjoyed visiting with Tom at London Road West church functions.
May memories of Tom comfort you during this difficult time.

Mike,Kevin,Tim and family…sorry to hear of your Dad’s recent passing….i’ll never forget the time in the fall of 1977 when i was working at C.I.L. when all your friends gathered at your home for a house party…there was about 110 people in your family home drinking and alot of card games going on and loud music….what impressed me the most was that your Parents were there too and they didn’t seem to mind all the noise….they were so friendly to everyone with your Mom providing alot of homemade food for the party….I didn’t know your Dad was a great ball player but i am not surprised because Kevin and I started Grade 9 together at LCCVI in Petrolia and in Phys-Ed class, Kevin was a great runner and athlete along with our friend Pete Smith from Brigden who passed away last spring…those were the best days of our life when we were all in great shape….my condolences to your entire family…..Bernie Baillargeon,Windsor,Ont(Retired)
