Thank you to everyone who took the the time to honour our dad by posting here, by attending his Celebration of Life, or sending love and prayers our way. Jonas, Evangeline and I couldn't be there (as my letter that was printed at the funeral home explains), but thankfully, Laura Lee gave me a tour twice around the room so I could have a moment to reflect on his memory and honour dad from afar.
A special thank you to Laura Lee, Bruce, and Mason for a BEAUTIFUL set up. It truly looked like a musicians "Hall of Fame". Such wonderful memories shared, and dad's love for music on display. I know it allowed for family and friends to connect to him and say their final farewell to Tom Eldridge.
I'll miss and love you forever, Dad.

Remembering Tom Eldridge
In baby blue eyes, a universe shone bright,
A life lived in the spotlight, burning with might.
A rockstar's heart, unyielding and free,
Playing chords of passion from sea to shining sea.
The stage was his kingdom, the crowd his kin,
From city to city, his journey would begin.
With a relentless drive, he shaped each tune,
Turning the world into his own afternoon.
Drawn to Disney’s wonder, with a childlike glee,
He shared every magic moment with his family.
A night owl who thrived in the late hours' embrace,
He chased after the quiet, finding solace and grace.
In a Lazy Boy chair, he found his peace,
Watching the world as the hours would cease.
Outside in the courtyard, under the sky's gentle hue,
He worked to stand tall, for the love he knew.
With each massage, he felt strength return,
Focused on a goal, for which his heart did yearn.
To walk his daughter down the aisle, proud and true,
A father’s love shining, unwavering, and blue.
A rockstar, a father, with passion and pride,
In our hearts and our stories, he'll forever reside.

This was the most BEAUTIFUL poem to honour our dad, Megan. My dad talked VERY highly of you! And he RAVED about his massages you'd give him when you visited him in the hospital. You are a beautiful and kind soul. Thankful that my dad had you in his life. God bless you.

Remember Tom very well through my dad, Eddie Burch. He also worked at the Standard. I remember listening to them play music at different times. Tom was a great musician and ran into him over the years. Condolences to the family on your loss. Debbie B.

Thank you so much, Debbie. I love that music was so embedded in my dad’s life and shared with others.

We were sad to hear of the passing of Uncle Tom. We are sending sympathy and warm thoughts to the family of Uncle Tom. He always managed to make us laugh and smile (or roll our eyes lol). We are sending some pictures from our family albums.
Love, Leah (Lukezich), Ashley (Coulson), Uncle Kelly (Stapleton) and our families xo

Those are incredible pictures, thank you for sharing them, Leah, Ashley, and Uncle Kelly. Thank you as well for your kind words, you also made me laugh and smile about the eye rolling part - my dad would chuckle at that too xo

To the Tom Eldridge Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Tom's passing.
Tom and I were 1st. cousins and I have many happy memories from our younger years together. My brother Bert, and Raymond, Tom and Cheryl and I were very close for many years. We all seemed to get into trouble together and were often sat on chairs or as it would be known as "Time - Out" today. My Mom (Peggy Eldridge and Tom's Mom - my Aunt Lillian) often didn't quite know what to do with us all. So we would all end up sitting on chairs for a period of time in the old farmhouse kitchen. What one of us didn't think of doing to get into mischief, one of the others would. Of course we all thought it was quite hilarious. Our childhood was a precious time in all our lives.
Please accept our condolences at this very sad time.
We send our prayers to your family,
Margaret (Eldridge) Dunbar
