Thomas L.C. de Souza, age 88, of Dorval, Quebec, died peacefully at his palliative care residence on November 24, 2021. He was born in Goa, India, the eldest child of Pascoal and Raminha.
He is survived by his loving wife Norma of 54 years; children Wendy (Patrick), Glenn (Sonya) and Melissa (Frank); grandchildren Michelle, Aurelia and Aldrin; siblings Leticia (ᵻJoseph), Timothy (Alba) and Peter (Loretta); and many members of his extended family.
He studied fine arts and chemistry in Bombay and England before coming to Canada in 1965. He worked as a scientist for many years at Paprican (now FP Solutions) and continued his love of oil painting as a longtime member of the Lakeshore Association of Artists and of the Dorval Artists Association. An avid golfer, he cherished his time spent on (and off) the fairway with his dear friends.

Dear Norma, Wendy, Glenn and Melissa – I am so sorry for your loss. Tom was a very talented man. I so much enjoyed seeing his paintings at the different art shows on the West Island. I also liked to hear him read at mass.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
My deepest condolences to the family! As a member of the Dorval Artists Assoc. I was lucky to enjoy Mr. de Souza’s great talent. It came as a shock that he ended up in palliative care and left this world so soon. I
hoped to attend today’s Mass at St. Veronica’s – could not for health reasons… Will pray for him. May God embrace his beautiful soul and may he rest in His Eternal Light! Sincerely Maciejka Voss
Nos sinceres. Sympathies.
Sinceres sympathies
