I went to Michigan on Feb. 1st to bury my mother. Upon returning on March 1st, I was "shocked" to hear of Chris' passing. My mom was there to welcome him - and I hope they both know how much we miss them. My condolences go to his family.

I lost track of Mr. Thomas after being away for a time. Really missed him on channel 8. Didn't know of his passing until I heard Mr. Wilson on Channel 13 telling his view of "Chris." I found it a tuff blow emotionally. My family's prayers go out to his family. As everyone says "Chris will truely be missed."

We were out of town when this wonderful unique man was taken from us, therefore, we were shocked when we returned and heard Chris Thomas memorial this and that on the radio. He was a true entertainer and his voice, style and ability to "tickle" us will always be remembered. Our deepest condolences to all of his family. We know their memories of this very special man will sustain them. Dan and Betty Callaghan

Chris "Crash" Thomas. A man with a zeal for life and a wonderful sense of humor. I enjoyed listening to him on the radio at FLA when I first came to the Tampa Bay area in 1991. Later, of course on TV at Channel 8 and finally, on the Animal. "Crash", you will be sorely missed and the lord has a huge smile on his face, knowing that "Crash" is coming to make him laugh. God Bless and Rest in Peace.
