TOM BRIAN SHARPLES On April 15, 2017. After a brave, courageous fight with lung cancer, Tom passed, in his 74th year, with his wife Gloria at his side, at the Ajax-Pickering Hospital. He will also be lovingly remembered and missed by his son Thomas (Amanda), grandchildren Christopher and Jessica, his nieces, nephews and many friends and his faithful companion Sheba. Tom was predeceased by his parents, Tom and Elizabeth Sharples, and his sisters Sylvia (Thomas), and Kay (Gordon). Warmest thanks go to the committed doctors and staff of the Ajax-Pickering Hospital and the Oshawa Cancer Centre for their compassion and devoted care. Friends will be received at the Pickering Village United Church (300 Church St. N., Ajax) on Sunday, April 23, 2017 from 2 p.m. until the time of service at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Ajax-Pickering Hospital Foundation (Auxiliary Equipment Account) would be appreciated.
