Legacy

Thomas lived a vibrant and adventurous life fueled by creativity, curiosity, and a deep passion for the arts. An accomplished and dedicated artist, he shared his unique vision of the world through his work. His artwork reached remarkable places, including exhibitions in the Louvre in Paris, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, and even appearing on the big screen in Times Square. These achievements reflected both his extraordinary talent and his lifelong commitment to artistic expression.

His adventurous spirit carried him far beyond the studio. In his younger years, Thomas embraced life with a fearless sense of exploration, even hitchhiking across the country with former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Tug McGraw, a story he loved to share. He also found great joy in the outdoors, backpacking through the Grand Canyon and hiking in the Adirondack Mountains, always seeking beauty, inspiration, and new perspectives in the world around him.

He was a loving and caring husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend.  He loved to be around his family, especially his grandchildren.  He was an avid Eagles and Phillies fan. A proud member of the United States Air Force.
