Thomas proudly served his country in the United States Army and was a dedicated member of the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) organization. He also cherished the camaraderie he found at the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), where he spent time with his colleagues, sharing stories and memories.
Thomas is survived by numerous cousins who held a special place in his heart. His memory will be forever cherished by those who knew and loved him. The family would like to thank the staff at Audie L. Murphy VA Medical Center for the care and support they provided Thomas and our family.
