Obituary of Arnold Blake Thomas

Suddenly, after sustaining life threatening injuries from a tragic accident, Blake came to rest at the Ottawa Civic Hospital.  Blake is predeceased by his wife of over 52 years, Diane.  He is survived and will be sorely missed by his children Nichole (Keith), April (Chris) and Ryan (Tanya) and his grandchildren Darian, Lacey, Payton, Gage, Teniel, Maddox and Paisley.  Blake was predeceased by his siblings Marie (John) and Gene (Zelda). He will be fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews, extended family and friends.  Blake was a former volunteer firefighter who has touched many people's lives and will be missed by all. He was always willing to help his neighbours and anyone else who needed it, the community has lost a good man.

Many thanks to the first responders and the staff at the Ottawa Civic Hospital who gave their best efforts to save his life.
