Dr. Ernest "Ta" Thomas

I've been thinking about Dr Thomas lately and decided to look him up to see if he made it to Santa Cruz, where he told me he was going to move to when he retired so he could be closer to his son. Seeing this just broke my heart. He was the best doctor I've ever had. So thorough and caring, unlike what we have these days that rush you in and out and have personality of a slug. They don't make them like him anymore. So sad.

My family began with Dr.Thomas when he was the Dr. For pop warner football, he was my Dr for 20 some years, he is the most loving & caring man I have ever met, he help me through some really tough times he took my appendix out at 14, and was the one who finally after many years figured out what the chicken-pox virus was doing to me, I will forever be grateful to this man & he will always be in my heart & missed, Love you Doc

Dr Tomas The greatest man I've ever known. I was a patient of Dr Tomas for 26 years. He was more than my Dr. He treated me as family. He always took time out of his day to listen even if it wasn't about a medical issue. As a matter of fact he'd read me and ask if there was anything I wanted to talk about. He was a fighter and an inspiration that pushed me to be a better man. I miss him more than words can say and he will be in my heart until the day I die. I love you and miss you Dr Tomas....

Rest in peace Dr. Thomas
Took great medical care of myself and late mother Veronica and Dad Edward. You will be missed by all.

What a sweetheart and great doctor! I met Dr. Thomas at Doctor's Hospital in San Jose more than 50 years ago! He took care of my boys when I was a young mother. I loved his big, bear hugs. I am so saddened. May his family always be surrounded by the joy and love Dr. Thomas has for everyone.

I was so saddened to get this news of Ta's passing! Not only was he our best Doctor ever, but was our best neighbor ever! My children and I will miss him terribly!!! Condolences to the Thomas family, may Ta Rest In Peace.

Dr. T was a warm & generous man with a wicked sense of humor. He was truly interested in the well being of his patients which included some pretty stern messages when he felt they were merited. He loved his family, that was evident in the mentions of them and we offer his family our sincerest condolences in their unexpected loss.

Dr. Thomas "TA" was always a kind, compassionate, funny, centered, smart gentleman. An amazing accomplished man, yet humble. He was my doctor for years, and cared for my mother in her various stages of dementia. My mom loved him and if she could not remember who the current president was, she would remember Dr. Thomas. I am very sad to hear of his passing but know that he is in a wonderful place, earned his wings, and will be checking on all of us throughout our lives. ~Sharon Page
