He enjoyed collecting ships and puttering around in his garage. Thomas was never one to turn his back on a fix and repair project. He loved his dogs and loved to travel. He enjoyed riding roller coasters, going to casinos, and playing Bingo.
Thomas was preceded in death by his parents and his sister, Priscilla Taylor.
He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Phyllis; children, Rebecca Walsh, Karoline Shelton (Chris), Terry Prodzinski, Mark King, Matthew King, John Cutshaw (Lisa) and Darren (Shelley); grandchildren, Michael, Josh, Nick, Brooke, Stephanie, Michael, Randy, Ashley, Amy, Sabrina, Dora, Shane, Shannon, Caitlyn, Brandon, Brooke, Tommy, Justin, Kourtney, and Sean; brother, Karl Jones (Sharon); nephew, Karl, Jr.; and nieces, Tamara and Kandace.
