Condolences For "Danny Thomas"
My fondest memories of my Uncle would have to be: the many trips to the local dump to gather things to repurposed for a new life.He was one of the most patient person I have ever met,even though he always had the shakes.He loved fixing washers and dryers for free.I enjoyed going to yard sales on weekends. He would end up giving most to people in need, and not ask for anything in return. He strived to help youth feel like there was hope in difficult situations. He was a faithful shepherd always leading the flock to open pasture. He once told me that if you don't have patience don't pray for it. My Mimi raised three fine men all very loving and devoted human beings. They are now all in peace together and I'm sure they are all laughing. Uncle David and Uncle Danny are joking with my dad, calling him boy just to aggravate, since he was the youngest. All of them greatly influenced me and always tried to steer me in the right direction, and I am thankful to have had such wonderful people to help me pick up the pieces when my life was in shambles. No matter how far I wondered I just want to say you are always in my heart.
