To the Thomas family. I just learned today of Mr.Thomas' pasing. I worked for Mr.Thomas for years.It was a pleasure to learn from him. He certainly a "colorful" person.He was not afraid to roll up his sleeves,help us and just get in the middle of office duties. I looked up to him and admired him.
I know he is with Irma and is in the arms of God.

Dear Belinda and Family,
I was so saddened when I read that W.O. had passed. He was a very important person to me at Dr.Phillipps office, and I will really miss him. I will never forget how we compared bellies when I was pregnant, or the gift they gave Emily when she was born. I know that he is in a happy place with Irma and her wonderful cookies. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I will miss him.

To the Thomas family: I worked for Mr. Thomas for 15 years in the Treasurer's office, and am very grateful for the many opportunities that he provided to me. He was a great friend and mentor, always ready to lend a helping hand and will always hold a very, very special place in my heart. There was never a dull moment when W. O. was around... he had a wonderful sense of humor and will be sorely missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time--we all loved your dad very much..

Mr.Thomas will be missed by so many people. As I look back I smile and think of all the wonderful memories I have of him. I worked for him when I was very young, and looked up to him with tremous respect. I watched as Mr. Thomas helped so many people through out the years with tough love and compassion. It is so true that your life is shaped through the people you meet along life's journey, and I can truly say that he shaped mine. I think of him often, and now know that he is with his loved ones and friends in heaven looking down and smiling.
