What a beautiful service that was. Hearing from Emily, Lucy and John touched me deeply. And Alison's choice of poem was so apt. I am glad I was able to be with you all in spirit.

To the Pick Family,
Tom’s Dad Jan was a good friend of my Dad so I have known the Pick family all my life. Our Dad’s started the Province Island Fish and Game Club on Lake Memphremagog back in the early 60’s and every fall for 8-9 weeks we would spend most weekends hunting pheasants on the Island, first with the father then Michael and finally with Tom after Michael passed away. I have great memories of those years, Tom was also a great benefactor to Bishop’s University students, over the years he financially helped many students who otherwise would not have been able to complete their degree. he was a generous and kind man.
Sincere condolences to the family.
Bob & Johanne Dunn

Marita Gilliam Thomas and Margot Pick have been good friends of mine since 2007 when I bought a lakeside cottage in North Hatley. Thomas told me much about that cottage and his growing up summers on the shores of Lake Massawippi. He was a great storyteller and could recall and reminisce about those summers. He also told the story of his parents' emigration from Europe to Canada using their passports to document the challenges of emigrating in the late 1930s. Always a participant in tennis, he
played doubles tennis with all of his heart. Each summer he would take a fishing vacation, bringing back beautiful fish. He became the loving caregiver to his wife Margot, and in the summer of 2023, he took her on a cruise to give her the pleasure of a memorable vacation. Thomas was a good man, and he will be sorely missed at the North Hatley Club.

Thomas generously shared his family story with me in the 1990s (or, as my students say, "sometime in the 1900s") when I was writing an honours thesis in history. It was my first writing of any length and it set me on a life's work. Thomas wasn't terribly keen on that, repeatedly telling me that I was wasting my talent by applying to graduate school. Somehow, coming from him, with his wry affection, it felt like a touching compliment. I'm not sure anyone else could have told me I was wasting my life with such warmth.
Lately, I've thought often of that interview. The complexity of the story he told, the uncertainty of belonging (which Alison has developed in her writing, of course), has lessons to teach today. I remember him in other ways too -- most among them as a protective father, intent on spending time with his teenage daughters -- but I'm especially grateful for the kindness he showed and the lessons he offered me those decades ago.

Thinking of you all and sending love. Losing a parent is one of the most difficult experiences to go through. Please let us know how we can support you! I had a wonderful visit with your dad at the house in North Hatley the summer before last. We had some very interesting and candid conversations as he gave me a detailed tour. I'm so happy to have that memory.
All the best,
Casey, Lex, Jesse and Bea

We shall miss Thomas as a friend and fellow alumnus; his genuine interest in the well being of others; his appreciation for the natural environment and its conservation; his dry sense of humour and the twinkle in his eyes whenever speaking of Margo and his daughters. מי ייתן ותומס ינוח על משכבו בשלום

Thomas was such an avid outdoors person. He passed on his love of fly fishing to many including my son, Graham. His love of North Hatley and his reverence for it’s surrounding vistas were firmly entrenched in his mind even as he lay in the hospital. We are all the better for knowing and being with Thomas. May you rest in peace, my friend. Dan and Jane
