Thomas Moffatt passed away at home, Monday January 6, 2025. Tom was born in Ottawa in 1948, son of Dr. Thomas and Audrey Moffatt.

He grew up in Ottawa enjoying nature and history clubs of the area. Spring would find him tossing a few firecrackers into tulips.

Tom received a BSc in biology from the University of Guelph, then attended medical school before deciding that nature, not medicine, was to be his path through life. He received an MSc in outdoor education from Northern Illinois University and a BA in education from the University of New Brunswick.

Tom moved to St. Andrews in 1973 to be director of Sunbury Shores. There he met his wife-to-be, Anne, an art and nature teacher at Sunbury Shores.

Together they sailed their thirty-foot sloop along the coast and ocean of NB and Maine. Later they set out for backpacking trips to eastern and western US mountains, Europe and Asia, including the highlight of seeing Mt. Everest at 18,000 feet, ten miles across from them.

Tom continued teaching and working for twenty years at the Atlantic Salmon Federation in Chamcook, in the Education and Communication Department.

He will be greatly missed by wife Anne, daughter Annapurna, nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as three beloved cats.

In keeping with Tom’s wishes, there will be no funeral service.
