Tom was born in Lloydminster, Saskatchewan to Sylvia and Earl Chamberlain on April 4, 1940. He married the love of his life, Verna Jean McKain on July 20, 1963 at Kevisville, Alberta. After chasing rigs around, Tom and Verna settled in the Kevisville area for ten years. In 1980, they moved to their acreage north of Spruce View, Alberta. A few years later Tom started in the trucking business, which is still running today. Tom enjoyed rodeo, old time music, tinkering with antique tractors and camping with family and friends. He especially enjoyed trips to Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan and dancing at the famous ‘Danceland Hall’. Tom also liked watching the Toronto Blue Jays; travelling to Seattle, Washington twice and once to Toronto, Ontario. He loved spending time with his grandchildren and watching them play various sports, where he always had to have French fries!
