We met Tommy six years ago when we were building our home in Ellerslie. Anytime we stopped in to see the progress he would stop and talk about what he and Keith were doing and show us pictures on his phone of work he had done in other homes. He was quickly providing ideas and suggestions to get us where we wanted to be with the woodwork. Today we can look around our home and point out a dozen places that wouldn't be there without his input. After our house was done, we would see Tommy and Keith in every new house going up. It was always nice to run into him somewhere in the neighborhood. We will miss his presence here. He was truly another neighbor to everyone. Our condolences and best wishes to his family. Dennis & Teresa Green

Sending love and prayers to Keith and family. It was pretty amazing to watch this father /son team create the most beautiful rooms with their woodworking. It was also very special to watch them work day after day, side by side and enjoy their work and each other. A parents greatest joy is to spend time with their children and Tommy got to do it every day with his son. Paul and I feel so fortunate and blessed to have worked on 4 houses with them. We will miss Tommy dearly. Keith… know that we are here if you need us. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Sally and Paul

Tommy was such a wonderful person! I have fond memories of he and Keith working on two of our homes. What a delight it was interacting with both of them. He was always so appreciative of the peppermint patties I used to bring him. Tommy always went above and beyond in terms of customer service and I loved his sense of humor. (the pic below was of him photo bombing a picture I was trying to take of our new home lol). Tommy was so much more to me than someone who helped build our house. I am proud to say he was a friend. I will miss him dearly but know I will see him in the next life.. Prayers for Keith and the family! Gail Beaulieu
