OBITUARY
HNATIW, Thomas Gregory Michael - On July 30, 2012 at the age of 53. Tom was a deeply devoted family man who believed it was his purpose in life to raise a family, and that he did with Debbie, his wife of 23 years, first in Hamilton, then Milton and settling in Oakville since 2005. Tom was a very successful television producer and personality, and was considered the quintessential Car Guy by all in the North American automotive and racing community. He is survived by his wife Debbie, and his two sons Nick and Wyatt. Donations are welcomed in his memory to the scholarship program at the May Court Club of Oakville. A private family gathering will take place at a later date.

From Jim Kenzie's blog (Aug 5, 2012): "For the many who have asked, Tom's family - Debbie, his wife for 23 years, and his sons Nick and Wyatt - have said that the cause of death was complications from kidney disease."
