God bless Thomas, He worked hard back in the 60's to bring the civil rights to the working man.
I always remember that he helped me with a union problem when building Brookmill project was being built.
I will always remember Thomas for his fight for all of working people.
He is one that will be in my thoughts as a teacher.
