A special thanks from all of here in Terrytown. Thank you for your dedication and service to the country and your fellowman. And, a really special thanks for serving as our Fire Chief of the Terrytown 5th Volunteer Fire District. May you rest in eternal peace. Our prayers are with all of the family and all his friends! Bless you! Hank
Dear Kathleen and family. So sorry to hear the news my prayers are with you. When I joined the FD in 1971 Gary was Chief. I was surprised to see he went to Francis T. Nicholls , so did I .Small world, my family lives in Folsom also . My daughter Cindy passed away yesterday at home. Fielding is also handling things but the services will be at CTK in Terrytown Thursday. Again, my sincere sympathies.

Gary Thomas was a true gentleman, even in high school, which is where I remember him best. Look at that smile! What a fine life he must have had. Rest in peace, dear classmate. You'll find a lot of Nicholls rebels to greet you, I suspect.
Karen, Charlie, and all of the Thomas family - May you find comfort knowing that so many were touched by Gary's life. He always had a smile and a kind word. I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers.
Papa, I knew this day was going to come but I didn't know the last time I kissed you on your cheek and said bye papa see you later, was going to be the goodbye for ever. My favoritest memory was definitely when I was tell ing you all about how I play softball and I've never hit a home run, and you said you can do it you just got to know you can.The very next week I had a tournament and that ball was coming to me, a straight line drive and I whacked that ball like I've never hit it before. Thank you for putting so much joy in my life seeing you those few times I really got attached. I love you and ALWAYS will miss you.
