Thomas was a great man, you look at the people he called friends and it's a very eclectic group of people. He didn't discriminate, he was friends with people of all walks of life. Didnt matter the color ,shape, size, rich, or poor. You see those people who look like they don't have a friend in the world but Thomas is their friend, that was all they needed. Just shows how huge his heart was, you wasn't just his friend, he made everyone he associated with feel like they were his family and they'd known each other for years. Thomas wasn't perfect but no one is, but he was a good man. He helped those others wouldn't want to be near. I've been to his and patrisha house many times but the first time I went there was supposed to be a bbq and I remember there was a small group of people hanging out in the backyard, most of them were just drinking, these were the type that we're nice people but just wanted to drink all day, didn't have much to go home to an hardley ate, patrisha and Thomas would fix them plates of food to make sure they had something, they always made sure they had something to eat. I always admired that. The man wasn't shy he definitely spoke his mind and if he didn't tease you or give you a hard time then you wasn't his friend. Q even when he was sick Thomas was in good spirits, and no matter how many times y times the Green Bay Packers lost he was sure they would win haha. I'm blessed to have met him an been included in his family, I'm so sorry it wasn't longer, maybe we will have to crack a bottle of open pit just for you Thomas....naw I'm sorry buddy nobody else liked that ketchup haha, man we are going to miss you.
