Jack was such a great spiritual influence to our family in Dunedin.  In my mid 20s, Jack and his family took me in as one of their own at a time when I needed a spiritual family the most!  Jack’s stories were the best!  I am eternally grateful for Jack Thomas and his wonderful family!   Scotty Garth

I worked with Jack for years when we were with the state and during our time in private rehab.... He was a true friend and you could always count on Jack to help with any project....  He loved to research and always amazed us with pages of info that he obtained from his research ..... he was always loaded for bear so to speak.
A good man and he will be missed.

Jack was a good man and he and his good wife, Joy, raised a good son, Dave - what a blessed legacy.  

Thanks for the chance to commemorate Jack in this way. I first got to know him in the 80s at church. He was teaching an adult Bible class which I attended, and I learned quickly that my casual approach to Bible study was not going to be sufficient in his class!  He shared his knowledge for many years, in all the classes, and he was always willing to discuss Bible subjects or answer questions. As a couple Jack and Joy were rarely apart. We enjoyed their company at worship, and also at many dinners, parties, singings and picnics through the years, because for them, time spent with fellow Christians, and supporting each others' family events, was a priority. Jack & Joy included us in things they enjoyed doing like antiquing and enjoying favorite restaurants. Jack loved my holiday newsletters and told me so, many times. He was a gentleman, always polite, and good at complimenting if a lady got a new outfit, hairstyle or  jewelry. I liked his song-leading and how he began every prayer with the address of “Righteous and loving heavenly Father.” I can't actually believe that I will never again get to walk into worship at PSD, and receive his friendly greeting, which he never failed to do. Thanks, Jack, for being a wonderful teacher, friend and brother in Christ.

I met Jack in the fall of 1973 while I was a freshman at Florida College. The Copelands, Jack’s in-laws, had pretty much adopted me by that time. It was at their home when Jack would come to visit them and also would take time to teach me to play Basketball. Needless to say that at that time he probably was the only friend I had. As a foreigner and a new comer to this culture that meant a world to me. 
I can say without hesitation that through his actions he taught me how to pay attention to lonely people. 
I know you have been welcomed by the Lord into your eternal shabbat!


Such great memories of Jack from the 70s when we met. Playing tennis was fun, attending bible studies at the Thomas house was uplifting, and Jack being in our wedding was very special. He led a full life, he e is now reaping his heavenly reward. God bless your family. RIP Jack.

To Joy and Family,
So sorry to hear about your loss. May peace and comfort be with all of you.  
Love, 
Joan Daley
