Thomas Lovett Anthony Levins

May 27, 1936 – March 28, 2021

After a long battle with cancer, Tom passed away peacefully at the Tillsonburg Hospital on Palm Sunday. He is predeceased by his parents Thomas and Teresa Levins and his sister Frances (Boyd). Tom is survived by his wife of 30 years, Lynda; his children and their spouses, Donald (Jennifer), Brian (Sandy Montour), Michael (Sandra Costa), Bruce (Nathalie Brisson), Sean (Lisa), Christina ‘Tina’ (Rick Wilson), and step children Jim (Janey), John (Jacqueline), and Jacki Greer (Todd). Together Tom and Lynda have 19 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren.

Tom was born in Montreal, Quebec. He loved watching boxing with his father, was a waterboy for the Montreal Alouettes and was an active leader in Scouts Canada for many years. Tom instilled the love of the outdoors, a strong work ethic and the value of a dollar with his children. 

 Tom graduated from McGill University and held a successful career with DuPont until his retirement in 1987. During retirement, Tom enjoyed traveling throughout North America, Ireland, Scotland, England and Portugal. Tom and Lynda moved from Oakville to Tillsonburg in 2013 and were active members at St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church and attended St. Paul’s United Church. 

Tom was proud of his family, his Faith and his Irish heritage. A funeral mass and celebration of life will be scheduled to honor Tom’s memory at a time when family and friends can safely gather. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted”. (Matthew 5:4).
