ATKINS,
Thomas B.J. "Tom"
Suddenly, on Tuesday, September 18, 2007, Thomas B.J. 'Tom'
ATKINS,
ham radio call sign VE3CDM (or as he would say, 'victor-echo-three-cool-drymartini')
passed away at home, at the age of 81. Dad's integrity, generosity
and work ethic inspired us all. He generously gave his time and
effort to support many others, in particular through his service
as a leader of many ham radio organizations in Canada and around
the world. Dad passed away after a tough year of medical problems
following an unexpected hip fracture in September 2006. Up until
his accident, he was fully independent, living with Mum in their
family home of 45 years in Don Mills and traveling the world.
He was a founder of St. Matthew The Apostle Oriole Anglican parish,
where he faithfully attended services every week until his accident.
In his last months Dad suffered from dementia which developed
aggressively after his hip fracture, but he never forgot the
faces of his loving family. Having trained originally as a lawyer
in his native England, Tom emigrated to Canada in 1952 with his
bride Joan (née
EVANS.)
After starting his professional career
in Canada as a banker with Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce,
Tom followed his love of all things electronic into the fledgling
Canadian television industry where he ultimately held senior
executive positions with Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CTV,
and Bushnell Communications (now Standard Radio). While his business
successes were many, Tom's proudest accomplishments occurred
in the world of amateur radio, where he served as President of
Region 2 (The Americas) of the International Amateur Radio Union,
after completing a number of terms as President of the Canadian
Radio Relay League and, before that, various Ontario ham radio
organizations. Tom led the communications team on the Canadian
side of the joint Canada-USSR trans-polar ski trek in 1988,
which led to a number of lasting international Friendships. In
recognition of his many years of service to all these various
organizations and initiatives, Tom was elected Canadian Amateur
of the Year in 1991 by his fellow hams, and was named to the
Radio Amateurs of Canada hall of fame in 2003. Dad served in
World War 2 as an LST signals officer in the British navy,
and later as a captain in the Canadian Forces reserves. He was
proud to have served both his native and adopted countries honourably.
Like many combat veterans, he never spoke much about his military
service but in his last months as the dementia advanced, some
of those memories haunted his dreams. He leaves behind Jo, his
loving wife of 55 years, his two daughters and their families:
Margaret Shân
ATKINS of Chicago, her husband Jim
ERBS and grand_sons
David, Andrew and Graham
ERBS; and his daughter Elizabeth Joan
('Liz') ATKINS of Toronto, her husband Paul
DORGAN and grand_son
James DORGAN; his sister Joyce
RATTRAY of Newmarket, England
and brother Clifford
ATKINS of Upton-on-Severn, England. He was
predeceased by his youngest brother Robert
ATKINS, and by his
parents Clifford and Bronwen
ATKINS. He will be greatly missed
by all who knew him. Many thanks to the many kind caregivers
at Amica of Bayview for the compassion they have all shown to
both Mum and Dad over these recent difficult months. A memorial
service to celebrate Dad's life will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday
September 22 at St. Matthew The Apostle Oriole Anglican parish,
80 George Henry Boulevard, North York, with refreshments to follow
in the parish hall. In lieu of flowers the family request that
donations in Dad's memory be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association,
the Alzheimer Society of Canada, or St. Matthew The Apostle Oriole.
