Obituary
Tom Baird (1945 - 2024)
Thomas “Tom” Arthur Baird, a man known for his unwavering spirit and
love of life, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2024.
Tom fought a courageous battle against cancer and dementia for many
years, never losing his determination. He was a pillar of strength for
his family, his will to live an inspiration to all who knew him.
For nearly five decades, Tom owned and operated his own business, a
testament to his work ethic and entrepreneurial spirit. Outside of
work, his passions included classic cars, which he loved to tinker
with, feline companions, the timeless tunes of oldies music, and
spending time with his family and friends.
Tom leaves behind a loving family who will cherish his memory: his
daughters, Dawn and Cyndi; son, Kevin; five grandsons; and three
granddaughters. Tom also leaves behind two brothers, Dave and Greg.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Tom's memory to the
American Cancer Society (https://donate.cancer.org/).

Tom and Connie created two incredible daughters and a wonderful son, that anyone could ever hope for.
I remember while on vacation connie and I would go shopping and she would buy gifts for the grandchildren she knew she'd need get to see being born
There's not a day goes by that I don't wish it were me instead of her
I love you all,..

Tom's mother told me when he was born the nurse brought him to her and instead of uncovering his face, she excitedly uncovered his feet first - the largest feet any of the nurses had ever seen. His wife Connie & I sat his daughter Dawn in his sneakers and her little baby legs never reached the toes of those size 16 shoes. It made us laugh and that made Dawn laugh. So a few years later we put Cyndi in those shoes and then Kevin had his turn too. Even today when I think of Tom's feet I can picture each of his children sitting laughing in his shoes. It still makes me smile.
