Obituary of Thomas Woods

Peter passed away peacefully on the morning of Christmas Eve, at 921 Millwood Retirement Home, Toronto after a determined struggle with cancer and complications from a stroke he suffered twelve years ago. Born in Liverpool, England of Irish parents Owen Woods and Annie Woods (nee Lawless), he moved to Ireland at the age of 12 to Louth Village, County Louth, Ireland. Predeceased by his wife Brenda Allan. Survived by his sisters Brigid McKeown (husband Kevin), Phyllis Neary (husband Don, deceased); brother Owen (deceased) and his wife Kitty; nieces and nephews Kevin (deceased), Marie, Patricia and Ann; Pauline, Susan, Don and Christopher; Eugene, Eamon, Donal, Ciaran, Paul and Fiona. He will be missed by his friends, Tom Daly, Jeffrey Garbert, Al Gardner and Michael Cahill. Peter was an accomplished athlete as a young man in Ireland, where he played Gaelic football for County Louth. He was also an avid reader of literature and poetry, and dedicated many years of his retirement to exploring mathematical problems. Special thanks to the dedicated doctors, nurses and staff at 921 Millwood, where Peter spent the last six years of his life. Your kindness and dedication was much appreciated by Peter and those who cared for him.
