Thomas Woodall

February 22, 1922-June 29, 2011.
(1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, Canadian Army – September 14, 1942 –August 11, 1945.)
Suddenly, at Orillia Memorial Hospital in his 89th year with his children by his side. Beloved husband for 66 years to Marjorie Eileen (nee Henderson). Deeply cherished and loved father to Richard (Mary), Janis Wilkinson (Len Mansell) and Debrah (Michael) Day. Loved as “Papa” by his grandchildren Andrea Warford, Andrew Day, Taylor Day and Courtney Borg. Great grandfather to Carter Taylor Day and Austin Thomas Day.
Thomas was a member of Weston Golf and Country Club for over 50 years, winning the Club Championship 5 times. He was ranked top 10 Ontario Amateur /Senior Amateur from 1956-1971. Winner of the OGA Champion of Champions in 1972 and the OGA Senior Champion of Champions in 1973. His most cherished times were spent with his wife and children travelling in Ontario to all the Ontario Amateur Golf Events.
At the age of 80, after shooting his age in golf, he pursued his other life long passion of fishing. Retiring to Gravenhurst with his wife, he enjoyed the Muskoka area with his wife’s family and loved to fish on Kashe Lake. Finally settling into Leisureworld Orillia to be with his wife, they roomed side by side for four years, with Thomas always looking after Marjorie.
Cremation has taken place. It was Thomas’ wish that family and friends come and have “a drink on him” and share memories together. Please join the family on Sunday July 10th, 2011 at Weston Golf and Country Club Weston, Ontario, from 2pm-4pm.
