With profound sadness, we share the passing of Tom O'Handley, a cherished former member of Rotary Halifax Harbour. Tom’s warmth, humour, and dedication made him an integral part of our Rotary family and the broader community. All who knew him felt his kindness and generosity, and he left a lasting impact through his commitment to service and his infectious joy for life.

Tom’s legacy is one of love—love for his family, friends, and community. He approached life with a light heart and an open mind, always ready to lend a helping hand or share a hearty laugh.
A celebration of Tom’s life will be held on Friday, August 23rd, 2024, at 2 PM at J.A. Snow Funeral Home, 339 Lacewood Drive, Halifax, with a reception to follow. A live stream of the service will be available for those unable to attend in person.
