My sincere condolences to Tom's family and friends. I met Tom in 1981 in Calgary. Tom was handsome, smart, passionate, fun-loving, and a spirited Maritimer with an open and enthusiastic personality. I loved Tom. Circumstances and opportunities pulled us in different directions but through the decades I had the pleasure of seeing Tom in Vancouver and St. John's. Our last telephone conversation was earlier this year, in May. In my mind I can still hear his voice and feel his warmth and enthusiasm. I regret that I was unable to have a last visit with Tom in Saint John. Tom's memory will always warm my heart, put a smile on my face, and bring a tear to my eye. Rest in peace dear Tom.
Terry Petley, Victoria, B.C.

I never met him, but i remember you well and my brother Mark Huestis would have wanted us to pay our condolences to you. He affectionately called you "Ginn". Again, please accept my sorrow for your grief at this time.

I am so very sad to hear of dear Tom's passing and I extend my sincere sympathies to his family. Just yesterday I bought him a birthday card to send as I he and I both have October birthdays so I always made a point of it. I also had the pleasure of working with him for some years in Calgary and there was never a dull moment with him around; he always had a joke and quick wit when debating things. I never knew anyone who could quote lines from various Shakespearian plays (in character) off the bat like Tom did. One time I had the pleasure of staying at his place in Newfoundland and we went out for a feed of cod tongues........what an experience that was for me. I have fond memories of my stay with him and his cat Blanche.
He was the consummate host and indeed I feel privileged to have known him. May he rest in peace.

To Tom's family I offer my deepest condolences. I was lucky enough to get to know Tom when I was an MP on the Hill - us East Coast MP teams really stuck together. The memories I'll keep of him are his smile and laughter, his commitment to just causes, and his willingness to just get'ter done. Any of us who got to know him were lucky. I hope your memories help push back some of the sadness. With warmth and affection, Megan Leslie

I am so sad to hear of Tom’s passing. I worked with Tom in St. John’s and he was a great colleague. He took pride in knowing all of our Newfoundland names and the region the name came from and would engage passengers with that knowledge. My condolences to his family and friends.

My deepest condolences to the entire McGinnis family on the loss of Tom. He had a personality larger then life and will be missed by many people. I had the privilege of working with Tom for Air Canada at Vancouver Airport. We shared many laughs together there and during our ski trips to Whistler and Washington State. The last feast I had of good east coast Lobster was during a stay at Toms beautiful home in St. John's. I will never forget him.

To all the McGinnis family, was so saddened to hear about Tom, please accept my heartfelt condolences to you all. I will always remember Tom as the cool guy growing up. He was quite adventurous. I recall when he lived in Quebec briefly and the family finally got a letter and it was in French haha. Also had a fun road-trip to X with Tom and Ed, and some fun in Calgary. He was also brilliant minded and good-humored. He will be greatly missed!!
God Bless you all
