Gary Thomas Sr.

Dear Dolly and Family, I was certainly sadden when I learned of Gary's death just two weeks ago. I called and received no answer or voice mail. As you know, I primarily live in Mexico and out of "the Cleveland loop". Fortunately, as Gary and I would laughingly remark, if you want the most current news of Cleveland, "Just ask Manly (Dunbar)"; he informed me. Gary's passing brought many memories to the fore. Our days at Glenville. I always admired Gary's athletic prowess, the funny ...

Saw the story on the news tonight Sorry to hear of Gary´s passing A real gent and a happy man always My condolences Dolly

Dear Dolly and family, we are so sad to learn of the loss of our dear friend Gary. There are countless memories and stories of our many years working together and becoming friends. Gary was an amazing talent. And he always made me laugh. We collaborated on countless projects. I can remember being young in the business and bragging to friends about him and all his work in the different sport hall of fames. Of course we can't forget his coffee-making skills!!! Gary was one in a million and we...

Our family was so shocked to hear of Gary´s passing. He was one of my Dad´s favorite people and oldest friends. My father Frank Jones (deceased) used to talk about Gary´s gift for creating art. Dolly, our hearts go out to you and your family and we pray for your comfort at this extremely difficult time. The Jones Family

Terri, my condolences to you, your mom, brother and extended family on the loss of your dad.

It's with a heavy heart that I send my condolences to his wife Dolly and his family. I was lucky to have had known him and Dolly they made me feel very welcome in there home and I became friends with Gary going golfing and going to the pro football hall of fame or just stopping by or getting lunch. I haven't seen him in a while and just was told of his passing. I am very thankful for have meeting him and his wonderful wife..Johnny MackBrown

Gary and I met in the 4th grade and have been friends for all these years. He will be missed. Rest in peace Gary. Blessings and love to the family.

To the Thomas family, Those we love don't go away; they walk beside us every day. Unseen, unheard, but always near, so loved, so missed, so very dear. Wishing you comfort and peace to face the days ahead and loving memories to hold in your heart. Judi Thomas ( He will truly be missed).

With a heavy heart I send light, love, and prayers to Gary´s wife Dolly, and all his family and friends. Gary was bigger than life to me as a young artist growing up in Cleveland Ohio. He was my friend, and my mentor for over 40 years. We have been through every facet of the art game and back again! There would be no way I could do what I do without having the influence Gary has given me all these years. I could never tell my story without first telling his. I will forever honor him and...
