Thomas enjoyed sports, especially football…”Edgewood Eagles and GO HAWKS!” as well as movies…”This is Sparta!
Thomas had a way of bridging the gap and bringing a diverse group of people together. He also loved to entertain and show off his grilling skills.

Thomas will forever be loved and never forgotten.
