Not sure what to say?

Many condolences. Very saddened by the news of Mr. Thomas' passing. And very embarrassed that I'm just now finding out. I never met Mr. Thomas, but man, did I bug him over the years trying to squeeze him for information on some of his client's movements during free agency. Even though he probably thought it, he never made me feel like a pain in the rear end, understanding I, and many like me, were just doing their jobs. Mr. Thomas always treated me with class, respect, and...

Sincere condolences to the family.
Hank was a warm smile, gentle eyes, a fantastic athlete including tennis and a proud dad.

Dearest Sharon,

I along with the other Harlanites in the Atlanta Area are with you in Spirit during this special time in the life of your family. May God enfold you in HIs Love and Protection.

So many memories of our youthful days on the 95th block of Indiana warm my heart. Hanky was special as you well know. I can close my eyes and see him dribbling a basketball, catching a baseball, quoting an athletes stats and talking about his dreams.

I did not realize then what...

To The Thomas Family,

I am truly sorry for your loss. Hank and I knew each other through growing up in the same neighborhood and attending Harlan High. I will always admire his accomplishments and the way Hank touched so many lives in a positive way. It's sad when the world loses someone of his caliber.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Thomas Family, My deepest sympathies for your loss. I knew Hank in his Bradley days and remember him as a great guy who was humble and hard working. I have always been so proud that a "Brave" gained such success and respect in his field after basketball. May he now rest in the loving arms of our Lord. Sharon B.

I am deeply sorry for this loss to family and friends. Our Heavenly Father is the God of Comfort; may you draw strength and hope from his words recorded in the scriptures:

Susan and the Thomas family,

My sincere and heartfelt condolences on Hank's transition.

Susan.You may not remember me because its been over 25 plus years (circa) since we even last communicated. I was young sports producer at BET in the mid 90s. We would talk in an effort to book Hank's clients for shows and promotional events. I recall you always saying your full name of Susan Holman Thomas of Thomas Sports Management. I always heard it with a smile :) In fact, I also...

To The Thomas Family,

I am so sorry for your recent loss.
Mr.Thomas seemed like such a hard-worker, and someone who really cared about his community.

May the God of all comfort strengthen your family during this time of deep sorrow. Please know that those who pass on are kept safe in God's perfect memory because they are precious in his eyes, and he promises to remember those whom we have lost to reunite with us with them in the future. Please accept my sincerest...
