Dedicated to the memory of Tom
This site is a tribute to Tom, who was born in Redhill Surrey on March 25, 1955. He attended Whitgift School and Southampton University before qualifying as a Chartered Accountant.
He worked for Shell in Aberdeen, London, Dubai and Oman and then ran his own consultancy until he decided that retirement didn't allow him time to to work! Latterly he was the Treasurer for Aberdeen Hash House Harriers, a Trustee for the SensationALL Charity and ran the Central Aberdeen District Seniors team for Peterculter Golf Club.
Tom was a devoted brother, Uncle and Great Uncle, an active Hash runner with the "handle" Toy Boy Tom and enthusiastic golfer.
Tom made the most of life and his family and wider family - his many friends across the world - will all sorely miss his lively personality, zest for life and sense of humour.
Please add any memories, tributes and pictures that you have to this site. In lieu of flowers, if you are able, please consider a donation in Tom's memory to SensationALL.
