Thumby Thomas Lingham (May 11, 1929 – January 28, 2013)
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our Dad on January 28, 2013 at the age of 83. He was a good and generous Dad whose primary focus was his family. He was devoted caring and spared no effort in ensuring that we had everything we needed. There was nothing he would not have done to help all his children. Even at the end Dad was still asking if he could help. Together with our Mom he encouraged us to dream big and reach for the stars. He instilled in us the value of higher education and it gave him great pleasure to share in the successes of his children. He was a generous and loving father –in-law to Cathy and John welcoming them warmly into the family. He was predeceased by his wife Elizabeth Jane of 56 years in 2009. Missing him are his son Russell (Cathy), his daughters Linda and Trudy (John), granddaughters Azure and Zara. He will be sorely missed. Friends may call at ELGIN MILLS CEMETERY & VISITATION CENTRE, 1591 Elgin Mills Rd.E., Richmond Hill (east of Leslie St., 905-737-1720) on Saturday, February 2nd to offer final respects at 2:45 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations to Community Living Toronto, the Alzheimer Society of Toronto or the Canadian Cancer Society would be appreciated.
