Thomas “Tom” Charles Boulton, beloved husband of Georgeina Boulton of Medicine Hat, passed away on Saturday, July 28th, 2018 at the age of 79 years. Tom also leaves to cherish his memory two sons, Randal (Shawna) and Bradley (Donnell); one daughter, Jackie (Wayne); seven grandchildren, Kayla (Kyle), Kallin, Crystal (Neil), Tiffany (Jesse), Thomas, Jack and Christina; seven great grandchildren; two brothers, John (David) and Garry (Patti); three sisters-in-law, Margaret (Charlie), Rita (Ken) and Eva; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Tom was predeceased by his parents, Jack and Margaret Boulton. Tom was raised on the family ranch west of Stavely. Although life made it necessary to work in many fields his heart was always in the country. He was fortunate to end his working life where it started, ranching. Tom loved to travel, and his work took him to every state and province except 2; he couldn’t get to those by driving he said. Tom married Georgeina Glass Harris from Magrath, Alberta on July 15th, 1960. When Tom joined Georgeina in retirement they travelled together and often with good friends. Their most memorable trip being their 8 month RVing adventure across Canada and the US. Spending time with family and friends was very important to Tom. He got great pleasure from sharing his love for the outdoors—hunting, fishing, camping, golfing, working or travel. There wasn’t an activity (children or grandchildren’s) he missed by choice. Tom was a proud 13-year survivor of esophageal cancer. The Funeral Service will be held at VICTORY LUTHERAN CHURCH, 2793 Southview Drive SE, on Tuesday, August 7th, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. with Reverend Jim Bredeson and Diaconal Minister Lila de Waal co-officiating. As an expression of sympathy those wishing to remember Tom may do so with a gift to Esophageal Cancer Research, c/o Canadian Cancer Society, 325 Manning Road NE, Calgary, Alberta, T2E 2P5 or to the Friends of the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site of Canada, Box 82, Longview, Alberta, T0L 1H0.
