Tom Rance of Blenheim passed away at home on Wednesday July 6, 2016 at the age of 67 years. Tom will be forever missed by his wife Brenda (Jubenville) Rance, by his sons Greg & Terri Rance of London and Scott Rance of Blenheim and by his brother Mark & Pearl Rance of Cincinnati. He was predeceased by his parents Thomas & Marjorie (Snow) Rance and his brother John Rance. Tom was raised in Blenheim, attending WJ Baird Public School and Blenheim District High School. As a young man he wanted to be a disc jockey, so after High School he moved to Toronto and received his degree from the Career Academy. However, the desire to live in his hometown brought him back to Blenheim where he began working for CIBC in Chatham and Dresden. In 1972 Tom was offered a job that he loved at Navistar in Chatham and he worked there until his retirement in 2009. Much of his time since then was spent in his back yard where he was a natural in landscaping and tending to the koi in his pond.

Friends wishing to remember him with a memorial donation are asked to consider the Cancer Society.
