PEDERSON, Thomas Clayton. March 2, 1946 ~ Feb 7, 2012. It is with great sadness we announce the sudden passing of Tom Pederson, beloved husband, dad, papa and friend. He is survived by his wife Ann, daughters Cathy and Tammy (Doug), grandchildren Taphanie, Braeden, Noni and Nicky, sisters Lynda (Mario) and Diane brother-in-law Tom (Gail) as well as numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins along with the cats Smokey and Tigger. Tom's profession in the transportation industry began as a young boy when he would help his dad at Rapid Transfer. He continued on that path working with many major transportation companies throughout his career. He was president and founder of T & A Enterprises, a freight brokerage company whose roots began back in 1978. Tom went to the office everyday. His chair may be empty but the company he built will live on. Tom loved his model trains and especially his hot rods. He was a member of BCHRA and PISRA. A service to honor Tom's life will be held at Burnett Fellowship 20639 123rd Avenue, Maple Ridge, BC. on Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 11AM.
