I have worked with Kim for several years and we had many wonderful conversations about her father and the great life he had. He was blessed with faith, family and health. My condolences to Kim and her siblings. May the happy memories of your father bring you comfort and peace. 



Sending our deepest condolences and keeping your family in our thoughts & prayers. God bless...!

Hi my name is Willie Walker, I'm a ex police officer for Riviera Beach Florida. I have known Mr Thomas since 1992. I would just like to share a wonderful memory of him. Every time I saw him when I was visiting his son Mike, he always had a word of encouragement and always referred to me as a slick  hair officer. Of course he was referring to the waves I used to have in my hair. He always met me with a wonderful smile and words of encouragement he would be greatly missed such a great pillar and great representation of mankind.

My deepest sympathy to Mr. Thomas family and friends. It was an honor and pleasure to care for a very good man of God till his last breath....my husband and I prayed, sang and comforted him until he went absent from the body and present with the Lord. Mr. Thomas was quiet, calm and very loving and so we gave him plenty love in return. We will never forget his memory of such a respected person. Rest in peace my friend, till we meet again🕊️🙏🥲

Love you guys  so sorry for our loss. We were neighbors since. The. Prat Whitney days,   Hang in there. And. Read John. 5:28-29. Ok.   

If I had to describe my grandfather there wouldn't be enough words to explain but to sum it up he was "A man's man". Growing up watching him lay the blueprint of what a man should be loving and respecting his wife and family and and his undeniably love for the lord.His legacy will forever carry on and he will be truly missed 

Dear Champ, Wanda, Kim, and Michael & Family:  Please accept my sincere condolences for the passing of your dad, Mr. Thomas.  We grew up together as neighbors and I spent a lot of time playing in your backyard on Avenue N.  Mr. Thomas loved his family and was just a wonderful human being!  I know my Dad will miss their talks.  You all are in my family’s heart and prayers!
