Thomas loved life and his family dearly. His favorite pastimes included watching baseball, boxing, westerns and football (especially the Washington Commanders), going to Budd’s Creek race track and BMX track events to watch his sons and grandchildren compete.

Most of all he loved spending time with his family and close friends. Well known in his community, Thomas always kept everyone laughing and in good spirits.
