- Tommy was brought up in Long Wittenham, Berkshire (now in Oxfordshire) before going off to boarding school and training as a Master Mariner. After sailing the oceans for 25 years or so he farmed his smallholding in New South Wales, Australia. Tommy died on 7th November 2019 at the age of 91. In his last years Tommy suffered from alzheimer’s dementia and lived in residential care close to his former home in Nambucca Heads where his widow Gwen now resides. The end came quite quickly after a fall and he was taken to hospital at Coffs Harbour where Gwen was with him when he died. A funeral service was held on 14th November at St John’s Anglican Church, Nambucca Heads where Gwen was well supported by Australian family members and their friends and their local congregation. Tommy will be remembered as an active, gentle and generous man of faith with a lasting love for his family, church and the communities of his birth and residence.
