Thomas was such a dedicated teacher and was so empathetic to the many students he served at Weaver High School in Hartford, CT. It was an honor to work with this professional colleague.
He was one of the many staff members who was so supportive of his students.
Fondly,
Dr. Carol A. Wright, former administrator at Weaver High School
