He will always be remembered in our heart. RIH my dear friend. Gone but will never be forgotten!!πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½πŸ™πŸ½

My memory of Dr. Thomas at TJHS (1971-73) was that although he could be a tough disciplinarian, he also had a loving heart. He took great pride in his job as assistant principal. He was very proud of our school. Always dressed in a suit and full of energy. He understood his impact on young people and his ability to positively affect them. Good man. Rest in peace...Jeff Flanagan
