Bowls Wellington Umpires send to Pat and the family our sincerest condolences. Tom was a Bowls New Zealand umpire for over 28 years, and we will miss his expertise on the Green.

We first met Tom at the Nationals 12 years ago. Turns out we're cussies many times removed. Would see and play against him and the Massey Ave boys at the Taranaki Open virtually every year since. Will miss him playing at Westend BC in his treasured red shirts. RIP. Garry and Lindsay Murfitt.

Our deapest condolences to you and your family. Tom was NCO in the refueling section where I languish out of sight. A nice bloke you could ask no more. No restriction now Tom you can open up and go as fast as you can open up. RIP.

Deepest sympathy and love to you Pat in the sudden passing of Tom. We were so thrilled to met up again when you brought Dave around for a coffee, we have always enjoyed your company and the many laughs. Special thoughts of you at this sad time.
Love Keith and Joy Hosking

My sincere condolences to Pat and family.
Tom was a true gentleman.
I knew Tom through Bowls and as a fellow umpire. Always a friendly smile on his face. Will miss you on the greens Tom.

Pat and Family our love and thoughts are with you at this very sad time. Tom was a true lover of the bowls game given the number of achievements he has to his name both with the Woburn and Massey Avenue Clubs over the years. He will be missed by many not only as a bowler, umpire and friend.
Rest in peace Tom

Pat and family, my sincere condolences, and Tom RIP.
Great memories, not only from work, sporting events but also social event, especially the progressive dinners held in a quite litte coldasuc in Hamilton. Fantastic times. Once again thinking of you Pat.

So sorry to read of Tom´s passing. Tom was an awesome man, great fun when socialising and just being Tom. I spent a few years with Tom when he was serving at RNZAF Base Ohakea. Myself at the Motor Transport Workshops. Tom was usually found at the refueling section, very busy at times refuelling various aircraft, playing cards or tinkering with his fast mini car that was most probably running on high octane aircraft fuel. Green river as we called it, the fuel was coloured Green. Now and then one of us mechanics was called over to assist Tom with his desire to go faster.
Rest In Peace Tom. You were a great man.
Condolences to your close family and Friends

So sad to hear. Tom was a fellow member of RNZAF 19 Course, Boy Entrant School in 1962. Always a smile and ready wit. Remember him meeting Pat at Ohakea in the early 60´s, he made a good choice. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Another gem from RNZAF 19BES intake passes on. Great memories of Tom with our days at Woodbourne and Ohakea. A real gentleman and a good mate.

Sad news and deepest sympathy to the family. A compatriot at Boy Entrant School in 1962, and a fellow hockey player (both for and against).

Very sad to hear the passing of Tom. I will always be very grateful for the many times he was happy to share his bowling knowledge with me. My sincere condolences to Pat & family.

Rest in peace Tom.
Will miss your company and humour at bowls.
Condolences to the family

Posted to Shelly Bay, in 1987, met Tom, had good times in W Os & SNCOs Mess. Played with and against Tom in Air Force Assoc Bowls for many years. A great mate, so sorry to family for your loss. RIP Tom. Leslie Wineera
