STERRICK, Thomas McPhee. “Tommy”

To the love of my life – thank you for loving me so completely. You will always be my strength, my safe place, my everything. I will carry you with me always.

Dad, you were my hero and first example of what a good man should be. You are always the love of Mum’s life and the strength of our family. I miss you already. Love always.
Troy

DAD
I’m so thankful for all the help, guidance, advice and love you have given me over the years. It’s so hard to believe you have gone, but knowing you are at rest now after your long hard battle, (even though you always said yea I’m ok, so we wouldn’t worry to much 🤔) so now you can finely rest helps at this heartbreaking time.
I am going to miss the banter and games of golf with you whenever we could and catching up at family events so much. It’s hard to accept I can’t just come down the club to catch up with you now. Thankyou for the love, support and advice you have given to Chrissy and all the kids and your grandkids as well, they all love you to bits and are so grateful they had you in their lives.
Thankfully over the last few months getting to spend more time with you was precious for me and gives me some great memories to hold on to .Rest easy now, you worked hard enough. You will never be forgotten. LOVE YOU❤️ RIP DAD 😘all my love Jase 💔💔💔

My dad was a special man who filled our lives with laughter, hard work, and unconditional love. He had a wonderful cheeky sense of humour and a quick wit that could brighten up any room. You could almost always find him down the golf club working hard or out on the course, chasing that perfect swing. He taught us the value of working hard, but he also reminded us never to take life too seriously. We will miss his jokes, his smile, and his massive heart every single day. Hit them straight up there, Dad. You are forever in our hearts.

Tommy, you welcomed me into the family with open arms and treated me like one of your own from the beginning, always greeting me with warm smile and a big hug. I will be forever grateful for your guidance and support over the years, and I will always cherish the special moments we shared – whether with family or out on the golf course.
It’s an honour to be your daughter-in-law. You are the most selfless man I know, always helping family and friends without a second thought. You will always be in my heart, and I know you’ll be on the golf course, reminding me, “Chrissy, see ball, hit ball – stop overthinking it”
Rest in Peace Tommy ❤️❤️

Tom, you leave a gaping hole in our family. We enjoyed many a great conversation over the years. I am terribly sad you are gone, but grateful you are no longer in any pain. Thank you for being a fantastic father in law! Love, Jill

One of life’s true gentleman and Tommy was a very top mate and also co-worker. Will be sadly missed by all.

Sorry to learn of this sad news. May all your special memories and photos help you through this sad time. Thoughts and prayers are with each of of the family. Sincere condolences, Bryan and Erica.

You held my hand when I was small. You watched me grow and helped me stand. A guiding light, a steady friend, who stayed beside me to the end.

Your gentle voice, your quiet grace, left warmth in every single place. Though now you walk a different shore, I miss you Uncle Tom so much more.

The fairway’s long, the morning bright, you’ve walked into the perfect light. Your final round is played and blest on quiet greens, you find your rest.

Your goddaughter will keep the light of your sweet memory in sight. Rest well dear godfather and sleep deep. Your love is mine to always keep.

RIP uncle Tom 😭❤️ you may be gone but I will never ever forget you.

Lots of love from your God Daughter xxxx

So sorry for the loss of Tommy
Thinking of you all at this sad time

So sad to hear of Tommy’s passing. Precious memories of our friendship during our years at Churchill & teenage years. Sincere condolences to Sherryl & family. May the many happy memories help you through this difficult time. Sue & Ray Musgrove. 🙏💙

Tom,
You were the best Father in law, a person could ask for.
From the moment you meet me, you hung shit on me, so l presumed you liked me.
I always loved it when you would buy new Golf Clubs, because generally l would get your old ones (which were still pretty bloody good).
We have always appreciated your help over the years & l was learnt so much from you.
You have left a big hole in our lives & l will miss you dearly.
Hope you’re still laughing and having a hit up in heaven.
Love Dean

I first met Tom many years ago through my brother Steve, and from that moment on, he became an irreplaceable part of our lives. Tom wasn’t just a friend; he was like a big brother to me and our entire family. He held a deep love for my mother and father, and the respect he showed our family is something we will never forget.Whenever life got tough and I needed guidance, Tom was the person I could turn to. He always had the right advice, delivered with the wisdom and care of an older brother.Even though our SEC Golf trips stopped years ago, looking back on them brings comfort. I will always cherish those memories and just remember Tom being there with us. I’ll always smile remembering the times he would caddy for me, standing by my side and telling me exactly which shot to play next. He was my guide on the golf course, just as he was in life.Tom was a good man, a loyal friend, and best friends with my brother Steve. I respected him immensely, loved him like a brother, and I am going to miss him more than I can express. Rest in peace, Tom.
