MR. THOMAS ANDREW EWING of Lethbridge, beloved husband of the late Mrs. Dorothy Ewing, passed away at the Chinook Regional Hospital on Saturday, June 20, 2009 at the age of 94 years, surrounded by his loving family.

Tom was born in Lethbridge on October 18, 1914, and in his early years in Southern Alberta, he helped on the farm haying, threshing, breaking horses, and driving the school van.

In 1953 he moved back to Lethbridge and purchased the Foremost Transport, which he carried on as Ewing Transport, eventually hauling grain for Southern Alberta farmers. Due to ill health, he retired in 1969. Tom never lost his interest in farming and drove each year to check the progress of the area crops.
