THOMAS 0. HEALY
Referring to the recent death of
Mr, T. O. Healy of Toronto, the De•
comber issue of the Blue Bell,
monthly magazine for the employees
of The Bell Telephone Co., says:
"With a feeling of deepregret, w('.
record the passing of Thomas Os-
wald Healy, cable repairman, Toron-
to division construction department
on October 6th. Tommy Healy's-
death under tragic circumstances
the result of an accident while at
work as a cable repairman, was
keenly felt by all members of the
western area. Tommy possessed that
happy faculty of endearing himself
to everyone. A native of the United
States, he started his telephone car-
eer as a cable splicer's helper - with
the New England Telephone Comp•
any in 1911, Serving with this comp•
any until 1917, he then, enlisted in
the American Artily and saw service
in France. On his return to civil life.
he migrated to Canada and secured
employment with our company at
Stratford, Ontario, in June, 1919, Af-
ter four Years in the western division
he was transferred to Toronto. As a
cable repairman. he truly exemplified
the 'spirit of service' as he cheerful-
ly performed his duties under ciretun-
stances that 'ould try the hardiest
of mer. His untimely death, at an
early age, leaves a sorrowing wife
and two young children. To them and
to his host of friends, we extend our
most heartfelt sympathy."
