With a strong work ethic, Thomas dedicated over 30 years to the Local 3 electrical union. Often telling stories of experiences on the job, Thomas was passionate about getting the job done and right.

Thomas met his beautiful wife, Joanne, at the age of 22 years old and they were married for 36 years. They had a daughter, Amanda, who wasn’t the easiest baby, but Thomas insisted on having another child so she could have a sibling. Completing their family, Jaclynn, their second daughter was born. Thomas was a devoted husband and father. Despite his rough exterior he never hesitated attending cheerleading competitions to support his daughters.

Thomas valued spending time with his family and friends. To name a few, Thomas loved riding his motorcycle, The Dallas Cowboys, rock and roll music, animals, horse races, and war history. He cherished memories of his dogs Max and Davidson. His greatest joy though was when he became a “Pop-Pop” to his grandchild, Landon, who clearly became the light of his life.
