Dear Thomas family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. May God give you strength to endure the pain. Continue to place your trust in Him. I enjoyed my visit with Herman in August and will forever remember him for the gentle, kind, and loving man that he was. Herman will truly be missed.

TO THE FAMILY OF MR. THOMAS:  I am deeply sorrowful to hear of the passing of Mr. Thomas.  It seems as though I have known him all my life, growing up in Grace Lutheran Church, attending his Sunday School classes, and learning from his family and my parents' family, participating in church and social situations.
He was always the consumate gentleman, a calm and steady guidon in the lives of myself and my siblings.  He was a comfort to both of my parents through their sicknesses; and a strong christian support for my mom after the death of my father.  He was a great human being, and will be sorely missed.  My family and I send our prayers and condolences to the family

The Anderson family wants to express our grief on the loss of our friend and fellow church member Herman Thomas.  His personal kindness and warm handshake and hugs will always be remembered.

What a wonderful man Mr. Thomas was. We are forever grateful the Lord saw fit to cross our paths. He was such a devoted follower of Christ. God bless the family at this time and always. Our prayers are with you all.  Love David, Theresa, and Adam Burress

Larry and family, 

I never had the privilege to meet your Dad in person, but I feel like I knew him from the stories and memories that you have shared. 
My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you celebrate his life as it was on earth and mourn your loss, all the while rejoicing in knowing your sweet, kind, much-loved father and grandfather is now with our Lord.

To the family,

Mr. Thomas was a sweet and kind man. During my time at McGary, he always displayed compassion toward all the students. He made each student feel important because he was so caring. He is a person I will never forget. To the family, earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Please look to the hills from whence cometh your help because it comes from the Lord. I will continue to pray for your comfort and strength during the difficult times ahead. Mr. T. was special! Rest on Mr. T! God Bless You!

Never in life could I have met a more perfect Gentleman. Mr Herman Thomas you certainly will be missed. There were two teachers, with the last name of Thomas, many years back...... so we called Mr Herman Thomas, Herman. {when adults were not listening that is.....always had to put handles on names of our peers, back then}.

I am so sorry for your loss Cousins Brenda, Herman and Larry. I remember the great times that we had when we would come visit you all in Evansville and also when you came to visit my grandparents in Ky.

Uncle Herman was a man of wisdom and always had a great deal of valuable information that he was willing to share with everyone. I know that he will be greatly missed. I am praying for you.

He helped me so much in grade school. I was one of those kids that was bullied and he gave me a safe place to hang out during lunch helping him in the library at McGary in the early 70s! He told me tons of stories and how all of this will help me in the future.

My condolences to the Thomas family.  I remember Mr. Thomas being such a gracious man and an active part of his church community.  He was an example to many of us to continue to remain active for a lifetime.    
My prayers and thoughts are with each one of you. 
Sending my love.

This man was the true definition of ......kindness, Love, friendship, gentleness, the list goes on and on until we meet again Mr Thomas, God bless you

Our families go way back.  Parents were friends before we were thought of; we carried it through our younger years and still going.  Now our folks are reunited beyond the skies.   May the God of comfort strengthen all of you in these times. Regina and Roger Duncan.

I met Mr. Thomas when I was in elementary school at McGary. I have remembered him all through life because he was very instrumental in forming my character of being a good student and individual. He not only taught school lessons, he taught life lessons and inspired all that he contacted to be a better person. My sincere condolences to his family. The world is losing a great man. He will be truly missed.

My sincere condolences.  Mr. Thomas was a compassionate person.  May God bless the Family during this time.

Mr. Thomas was a gem at McGary Elementary in Evansville.  He was by far one of the nicest men in that building.  He always let us listen to the radio when we were in the library.  I will always remember his kindness and smile!  May God comfort you in these difficult days.

Mr. Thomas was such a great person.  He influenced me greatly in grade school and gave me the encouragement I needed to grow.  God has a wonderful angel with him now.  My condolences to the family and thank you for sharing such a great person with the world.

Mr. Thomas was a wonderful man/teacher who will always be remembered for his positive spirit and uplifting smile.  My thoughts go out to his family.  He will be missed.

 RIP Mr. Thomas.  You will always be remembered!

Mr. Thomas made such an impact on my life.  He cared about me,as a student, when no one else did, but more than that, he cared about every single child that he met.  Mr. Thomas was one of the kindest, honest, and most wonderful human being that I've ever had the fortune to know.   He was a bright light in the world.

My deepest sympathy on the death of your father Herman, I was fortunate to meet him and hear him sing with family at Christ the King Lutheran Church in Nashua, NH. He was a blessing to all.
