Thomas “Tom” Lewis Allyn Moffitt

February 1, 1949 - November 5, 2024

Funeral Details: Details will be provided at a later date.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Thomas Lewis Allyn Moffitt who suddenly passed away on Tuesday November 5th at the age of 75. A devoted husband, loving father, and cherished friend, Tom brought light, wisdom, and warmth to everyone who knew him. His legacy of kindness, strength, and humor will forever be etched in our hearts.

Born on Tuesday February 1, 1949, Tom grew up in Aurora, Ontario where he cultivated a love for hockey, football, trivia and motorcycles. After graduating from Dr. G. W. Williams Secondary School he went on to work for Sterling Drugs, Brewers Retail and then Holy Cross Cemetery. After retiring, he went on to become a Crossing Guard where he was recognized as a Business Person of Character. Over the last 10 years he worked at Cookie it Up where his dedication and passion left a lasting mark.

More than anything, Tom loved his family deeply and showed it every day in ways big and small. He married the love of his life, Robbie, with whom he shared 50 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they built a home filled with love, laughter, and countless memories. He was a proud father to Lyndsy, and Jordan, both of whom carry forward his best qualities and his unwavering support and love. Tom was also a loving father-in-law to Ruth, and Lucie and the eldest sibling to Chris, Patsy, Barry, Brian, and Mary Jo. He is preceded in death by his parents Martin and Mollie Nabuurs.

Tom's legacy is a testament to the strength of kindness, and his family will continue to honor his life by holding onto his values, love, and unwavering spirit. Though his passing leaves a tremendous void, his memory will continue to guide, inspire, and comfort us all.

Friends and family are welcome to join in remembering and celebrating a remarkable man who will be deeply missed. Online memories and condolences may be shared with the family below.

    Very sad to hear of the sudden passing of my oldest cousin Tom Moffitt. Tom was a good guy – always up for a good time at family gatherings. He had that cool factor with his love of motorcycles.

    I remember Tom joining my Dad (uncle Al to Tom) and I on a trip to Rich Stadium to see the Bills play back in the 80s. He had never met my Dad’s coworkers, who were with us, but he quickly fit right in, laughing and joking with the group. A good memory.

    He and his wife Robbie once came down to Grimsby and stayed the weekend. I remember it was the weekend that Pink Floyd played in Hamilton in 1975.

    Tom was a good guy to talk to – about football, hockey and of course motorcycles. He will be missed.

    Deepest condolences to his wife Robbie, daughter Lyndsy and son Jordan – as well as brothers and sisters Patsy, Chris, Barry, Brian and Mary Jo. Wishing you strength to get through this difficult time.

    With deepest sympathy,

    Cousin Doug

    Dear Robbie, Lyndsy, Ruth, Jordan, Lucie & Family

    Brad & I are completely devastated by the loss of our Tommy.

    Our hearts are heavy with sorrow as we think of Tommy, best of friends, the heart and soul of every gathering and truly one of a kind. From those spontaneous garage parties to the drive-by beeps from his motorcycle or SUV to the laughter and music that filled the air – every moment with Tommy was a treasure. He had that unmistakable sparkle in his eyes and a smile that lit up any room. Tommy is the definition of “Cool” – Our own Aurora Fonzie!

    The fun adventures. Stories and the jokes we shared will forever be etched in our hearts. We’ll never forget “The one about the Phone Booth!” We always laugh when we think or talk about that one!!

    Robbie, please know that we are here for you, now and always. Whatever you need we are just a call away. Our hearts are broken with yours as we also celebrate the joy Tommy brought to our lives. His memory will live on and we will forever cherish it

    Love, Brad & Sandy

    So very sorry to hear of Tom’s sudden passing. Our sincere condolences to his family and extended family and friends. He was always very kind, fun and friendly and always took great care of the Regency Acres students – including our two daughters – who would cross his post during his time as a community crossing guard. He loved his Buffalo Bills and his family and would often share stories of both to those around him. We always enjoyed giving him a wave or a honk when we saw him in the ‘hood as he would do to us. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew him. Tom will definitely be missed. The Wiley family – Caroline, Mark, Megan and Rachel

    Although I never had the pleasure of meeting Tom I wanted to share that I was a school bus driver when he was a crossing guard on Murray drive. Every morning and afternoon when I drove by he always had a kind wave and smile. I am sorry for your loss.
