After completing his education in Kenedy, Thomas proudly served his country in the United States Navy. During his time in the Navy, he served aboard the USS Essex. He enjoyed telling stories of his adventures during his time as a sailor.
Upon returning to Kenedy, Thomas began a career at General Mills, which was later Henkel and Aqualon.
In his leisure time, Thomas enjoyed spending time at the "81" which served as his peaceful getaway just outside of Kenedy, TX. He spent many weekends there enjoying the country life that he cherished so much. Thomas also enjoyed hunting and fishing.
