My condolences to the Thomas family. As a fellow entomologist, I have known Don for over 30 years. I was saddened to learn he had passed. He was a kind, gentle man, and he will be missed.

Photo from Panama, 2023. Don, Charluz, Bill Warfield and me in the raincoat. Insect collecting, our last of many trips together ❤️

Don was a great friend.  We enjoyed collecting insects in the tropical rain forests of Mexico, Central and South America.  We shared many stories, and laughed a lot !!  He had so many friends.  We all loved Don......and here is love to his family.  Bill Warfield.
