Thomas was a faithful member of God's Church of Faith and served as an executive member on the board. He loved his church and the church family greatly. After his retirement from Cannon Mills, he enjoyed being on a lawn mower, being with his family, fishing and anything he could do to be busy with his hands. His consistent, humble, sweet and giving spirit ministered blessing to all he came in contact with in his life. Thomas never met a stranger.
