KA May 5, 2022, 1:02 pm Our condolances to his family, especially his adored nieces and nephew. He kept me updated, whenever we got the chance to visit at the Isle or Wal-Mart.
Rest in Peace, Thomas
SF May 5, 2022, 1:28 pm Such a great man he was. It was a great privilege to work with him at Wal-Mart and the famous words he would always say, "You see what I'm dealing with?" He will be missed by many. So sorry for your loss.

Thomas was always there for a great laugh and always bragged to me about his nieces and family. Worked with Thomas at the Isle Waterloo for many years and he was loved by many of our guests and fellow employees.
"See what I'm dealing with" Was the famous Thomas catchphrase. You'll be missed Thomas <3
