celebrate a loved ones memory.

Tom was born in Hamilton, Ontario on Oct 4, 1938. Following his medical training at the University of Toronto, he returned to Vancouver for a long and satisfying career as one of the last old-fashioned family doctors, practicing for 42 years at Marpole Medical. Retirement did not suit Tom, so he continued part-time at Healthvue Medical, a family practice clinic in Steveston, for another decade, only stopping last March due to illness.

Neil Symons was a salty sailor and a good friend to many. On July 18, after a brutal 3-year battle with cancer, Neil had medical assistance in dying at the North Shore Hospice. He was outside in the garden with his daughters, Renée and Holly, and his granddaughters, Grace and Ellie. The sun was warm and the breeze gentle. There was rum (the good stuff) and laughter and song. Neil knew he’d had a good run and he had no regrets. He loved life and he knew he was loved.
