Remembrances of
Richard E. Thomas, Jr.
By
his daughter,
Thelma
Thomas Jackson, as told to Amy Thomas King, one of his great grandchildren.
He believed but didn’t always go to
church. He joined the church for his
wife, Lucille.
Two things in life that he thought were
important were: Be honest and be on
time.
He didn’t have a very happy
childhood. His father drank. Because of that, he was very much against
drinking.
Took good care of his animals and always
picked out the best beef, sheep, and pigs for tithing.
He was kind to everyone.
From
what I’ve learned:
Many people knew him as Ed.
He and my grandfather, Jesse, did not get
along very well.
