Loved your laugh, smile and contagious personality!!!!

My thoughts & prayers are with the family of Jerry Thomas.He will truly bde missed by alot of people. Work just won't be the same without him.

Jerry - It still doesn't seem real that we had to say goodbye to you today and I'm not sure how we're all going to get along without you. I will be forever grateful for all you've done for me over the years both personally and professionally. I will miss your laugh, your calls to talk about our beloved Buckeyes and dinners at Wendell's, among other things. You were truly one of a kind and I only hope I can have half the impact on this world that you did. You will be missed but never forgotten.

I met Jerry a few years ago when I worked at ADS. I must say I was somewhat fearful during that first interaction. I came to realize that he was one of the greatest humanitarians that I have ever met. He lifted me up during some very tough times and encouraged me. I will never forget our talks when he drove me over to the Reno office. He shaved his head in a meeting in Reno to raise money for United Way.

He demonstrated care and such concern for all people. We need more people like...

My heart goes out to the family of Jerry Thomas. Jerry and I have been peers for over 20 years. He was a wonderful person to work with. He showed his passion with the job that help drive everyone to success. I will truley miss him in so many ways. He always made you smile and laugh and he was always concerned for you as a individual. He also taught me a lot. Jerry will be missed by those at ADS. My prayers are with his family.

Words can not simply express how much Jerry will truly be missed. Jerry always was a true mentor, a caring individual and a genuine boss. He has motivated me to excel in my career development in many ways. I am simply a "better" person today for having the opportunity to work with him. My prayers are with all of his family and friends at this time of loss.

jerry was a hell of a guy he always keep you smiling he will be sadly missed thoughts and prayers are with his family

To the Family of Jerry Thomas, I am so sorry for your loss...what a shock. As you know Jerry was so kind hearted and would do anything for you if he could. Jerry was there for me during a really tough time in my life and he helped me so much. I will never forget how he sat anxiously awaiting the birth of my son as he sat with the gray Buckeye teddy bear making sure we were both ok. He was the only person that I could really talk to during that rough time. He always had encouraging words...
