Edward William Thomson Thomas

Edward was my nephew and a Wonderful man. His unique personality, gentle spirit and creativity always amazed me. His house was a fascinating work of art. He visited his grandmother (my mother) a few days before she died and she woke up and they had a lovely conversation. Then he bought her a record player and records of her favorite music to bring her joy. I take comfort in know that their spirits are now together.

Edward came into the gallery and we spoke about doing a show in 1995. His first show I think and the most successful show I ever sold. But it was Edward that inspired me even more than the beautiful work. His confidence, manner, his smile and gentle laugh. He was infinitely lovable and I will miss him until I see him again someday.

Edward was a great artist and an unbelievable person. He was unique, an original. He will be missed greatly. I Will remember how he lived, changing the world whether it be his house or the world around his house. One had to bend to Edward but it was a reminder of the person that you were or you would be... He is an amazing person and I will always remember the happiness and the beauty of Edward. RIP.

He was a truly gifted and prolific artist and a lovely man. Deepest sympathy to his family and friends. I treasure my paintings by him; it is so very sad to lose him and his artistic renderings of Charlottesville and its surroundings.

Edward was someone who always offered a different way to look at things. I have many memories of sitting at the Blue Moon Diner talking or just being around. He had an incredible talent and I am so very sorry for his loss to his family, his friends and to Charlottesville. He will be missed.

Edward was a gentle, talented boy. He used to come regularly to visit us and his high school friend at our home on Washington street in Winchester. I cherish one of his exquisite paintings of our home. Ed is missed in this world. He lived as he wanted to live, a rarity on this world. Bless those remaining.
