Well Tom, our brother in harmony and close friend, with you at the helm, our quartet has been blessed with a great 'RUN..!' From our first performance February 2009, to our last farewell performance at the Chorus’ Christmas party, December 21, 2015, our time together has been epic. Tom, over the last seven years you’ve inspired us, managing our bookings, and hosted practices and fellowship meetings in your home. You scouted out and arranged the majority of our gigs. Our experiences have resulted in permanent memories as an accomplished quartet and life-long friends. We’ve shared many stage experiences that most people can only dream of, creating a chapter in our personal books entitled: 'Some of the best times of our lives!'
Among the many highlights we experienced with you, Tom, these stand out:
* Top quartet, NW Land O Lakes Chapter, Winnipeg Competition, 2009.
* Christmas with Rory at Casino Regina 2009.
* A week-long, three-a-day performance at the Regina Queen City Exhibition 2012.
* Our first Harmony University saw us drive to St. Joseph, Missouri in 2013 where we sang with amazing people, especially a group of young men in a Fargo hotel bar. Remember that hilarious food stop at a red-neck restaurant on the way back and the looks we got when they spotted the undisputed bling-king of all time?
* Our second Harmony University saw us fly to Nashville, Tennessee in 2014 with nine other fellow Chorus members where we sang a cappella songs on a downtown street corner of Music City with fellow barber shoppers from South Carolina.
* Feature quartet at the Dauphin, Manitoba Spring Barbershop Show 2014.
*The most relaxing and spiritually rewarding were the countless sing-outs at retirement homes, schools or private homes.
You made the world a better place Tom. We miss you. We love you buddy!!
Your Brothers in Harmony,
Bill, Darrell, and Gord
