Thomas loved being outdoors and enjoyed fishing, hunting, catching crawdads, gathering mushrooms, grapes, wild onions, hickory and chinquapin nuts. He was an avid sports fan and watched all sports especially the OU Sooners. He thought of others before himself. He worked all his adult life to help his mother provide for the younger children. As time progressed he helped babysit his nieces and nephews. Thomas had a lot of patience. He taught his family how to hunt safely and responsibly. He taught them what plants to gather and when to gather them and to value education by the example he set.
