Thomas always had something awesome or positive to say, even when he was being critical - he always pointed out the silver lining in any situation and accepted people for who they were. Sage stuff, and a good example to live by. I'll miss him. My thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Thomas had the uncanny ability to make a person smile just by entering a room. His goofy grin and good nature always put me in a good mood. He is already missed. My heart goes out to all of his friends and family. We truly have lost one of the good ones.
