We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden and unexpected passing of Tom Pearson while on vacation in Arizona on February 10, 2014. He leaves behind Kathy, his wife for 25 years; and his brother, Dick (Peg) of Minnesota. Tom will be missed by many friends, lodge brothers and fellow committee members.
Tom grew up in Duluth, Minnesota with parents, Roy and Dorothy, and brother, Dick, graduating as a Chemical Engineer from University of Minnesota. He was a Naval Reserve Officer, having served on the USS Constellation and at Bremerton Naval Shipyard. He and Kathy celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary this year. Tom worked for Dow Chemicals for 38 years, was a member of the Masonic Lodge, and served on many boards and committees in Fort Saskatchewan and Edmonton.
You are invited to celebrate Tom's life on Saturday, February 22, at 1:00 pm at Community Baptist Church, 7810 – 95A Avenue, Fort Saskatchewan.

I was so shocked when Peggy called me and said that Tom has passed away. I have known him and Dick since early childhood when we lived in Lakeside. Their house was on the shortcut we used on the way to the skating rink and home again. My thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this very difficult time.

We are sorry to hear of Tom's passing. It was a bit of a shock to us! I remember many conversations with Tom, and his always helpful attitude, during our tenure at Dow Chemical. Our condolences to Kathy and the entire family.
