I am thinking of Uncle Tom today with lots of fond memories. Love you all and wish I could be there today. My 3 favorite memories are once during a visit back to Carbonear, Uncle Tom took us all out in the boat, I must have been about 6 but I thought it was the adventure of a lifetime. Next was during a visit he made to see my Mom and our family in Lubbock, Texas - home of Buddy Holly. Uncle Tom was thrilled to see the Buddy Holly grave, statue, memorial etc. He even made a bit of a shrine in his movie theater with all his memorabilia. Finally, during another visit home, when I had my own 3 kids (at that time 2,4, and 6) he set up a private showing at his movie theater and spoiled he kids with all the candy and popcorn they could eat, that still remember that day. Of course there are many more fond memories, we will miss his kind heart.

Keith and Tommy.
My sympathy to you both and your families from me and my family from Spaniard's Bay on the passing of your father.
Some people have to die to get a good name. Tom Oates isn't one of them.
He became a good friend of mine the first time we met while he repaired my '67 mustang from his garage across the train station in Carbonear in 1974 to as a projectionist at the Bond Theatre and Carbonear Cinema.
Lots of good memories.
God Bless.

Tom would drop in to my shop from time to time to get parts made or repaired
for his projectors . Always thanked me and gave me a little "tip" , a pass or
two for the movies. A great guy

Tom and Keith, I am so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I remember him fondly from years gone by when we'd frequent the theater. Some Friday nights, we might feel a little mischievous or disruptive (as young teens would) and he'd give us a stern talking to, but the next weekend, all would be forgotten and he would smile and welcome us all back again. I pray all the wonderful memories you have, will bring you comfort in the days ahead. My sincere condolences to you both and to your families. God bless.
