It is with overwhelming sadness the family of Thomas Oakley Pardy announces his passing on February 5, 2010 in Regina, SK at the Pasqua Hospital, with his family by his side, at the age of 87 years. Thomas was born on February 11, 1922 in Cartwright, Labrador. He was predeceased by his parents Manuel and Mae; daughter Glenda; brother Manuel; sister Muriel; brother-in-law Bert; and one grandson.

Thomas worked in many trades including: a salmon collector for Hudson Bay Co., the fur trade raising fox with his father, construction of Goose Air Base during WWII for the U.S. Air Force, managing director of a theatre company, taxi owner/operator, power plant operator for the township of Happy Valley, and finally prior to retirement, as supervisor at Newfoundland, Labrador Hydro.

Dad lived life to the fullest and loved the outdoors including passions of hunting and fishing. Dad also proudly owned a dogsled team, transporting doctors along coastal communities in this way.
