So sorry for this loss great man rip dear friend
Sorry to hear of your loss.
Jim worked for my father for many years and I spent a lot of time with him as I was growing up. He had a saying for just about every occasion; some of those I still use today so his memory lives on. Jim and Kay lived in a small house and when we found out she was expecting for Tina my mother asked where they were going to put all of those kids. His answer was, ” We’ll hang them from the ceiling in bushel baskets!”
He liked to sing and I also remember going to various functions to watch him perform.
After my father bought the family farm I would often visit with Gordon, Mabel, and Paul. They always welcomed me into their home and Mabel always had a cookie or a cup of coffee on a cold day. They were, by all accounts, true country people who didn’t have much but were generous with what they had; their wisdom, their honesty, and above all, their time.
Our Heartfelt Sympathy to all the Thomas Family.!!! RIP Jim!
