Thomas was a kind, gentle and genuine soul, everyone who came across Thomas can attest to this. He was always willing to help those that he loved and cared for, always available going out of his way to find a way, to be of help, when needed. A great example of this is the relationships that he had with his family, friends and work mates.

Outside of work he enjoyed socializing with friends and family, watching football and playing KENO!
