It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Thomas Leslie Cousins on Saturday, December 23, 2023. Tom died peacefully at Post Inn Village in his 81st year.

Predeceased by his parents William and Emily Cousins, his brothers Jack, Charley and Bob, and his companion Barb. He will long be remembered by son Tom (Yumiko) in Japan, his friend and ex-wife Dolly in Brampton, Ontario, his sister Vicky Chaisson of New Brunswick, his brother Pleaman (Linda) Cousins of Newfoundland, and his boy Jason White of Ottawa.

Tom was very proud of his roots in Newfoundland, where he was born in Juniper Stump and grew up in Stephenville. He was passionate about cars and trucks and became as a mechanic, at one point owning his own service station in Brampton, Ontario. He capped off his extensive career working on large construction equipment in Oakville and Burlington, Ontario.

Tom was a huge baseball fan, and had a long-standing love-hate relationship with the Toronto Blue Jays. He also enjoyed playing cards, fishing and hunting.

Tom's family would like to thank the dedicated and caring staff of Post Inn Village in Oakville, as well as the residents who became friends and welcomed Tom into their lives.

Cremation has already taken place. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations in Tom's memory to the Alzheimer Society of Canada.
