Alma (Al) Lewis Thomas, age 91, passed away March 14, 2014, in Ivins, Utah at the Southern Utah Veterans Home. He was born May 11, 1922, in Thistle, Utah to Lorenzo Lewis and Effie Lorena Pace Thomas.

Alma was raised and educated in South Gate, California. After graduating High School, Alma joined the Merchant Marines. He served until the end of World War II. Just before the war ended, in May of 1945, in the St. George LDS Temple, he married Julia Wilson of Hurricane, Utah.
