Terry was a wonderful Father. Just look at his amazing son Greg! Greg introduced me to Terry and we enjoyed a wonderful evening together in DC. He was a kind friend and I know his family is sad to lose him, so am I.

Sorry to hear of Terry's passing. Although I haven't seen Terry in years I still remember our time with Uncle Gene & Aunt Clara and the boys when we were kids. My sympathy and thoughts are with you. Loretta Thomas Boyd was my mother

Jackie and kids:
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and father. I am also sorry that I could not attend his service out in CA today. My family and I have been blessed knowing Terry. Even though it has been over ten years since we worked together at Picolight here in Colorado, our time that we worked together was some of the best years of my career due to Terry. We always could share a laugh but more importantly he was a good friend. He always kept things loose and when we would talk on the phone, he would always call me Leroy and I would call him his nickname Carl. I still miss our golfing days at Fox Hill and the times that we would share there out on the links. I will miss his sense of humor but most of all I will miss his friendship. He is a great person and one of a kind.
Terry- Rest in Peace my friend.
God Bless,
Dave Kempf and family.

Terry Thomas was my cousin , the son of very special parents that I loved dearly because they reached out in love to me all of my life. Terry made it his priority to keep in touch with the Thomas family whenever his work brought him close to where we lived..we are scattered over many states. I will always love and admire him for caring. He will be forever missed...he leaves a huge hole in the fabric of the lives of those who knew and loved him. Mona Holbrook
