We were classmates of Thomas at Gonzales High School, but had lost touch of him since then except for a reunion. We had moved away from Gonzales and even missed Alfred's 50th class reunion.

We are sorry we lost track of Thomas and extend our sincere condolences to his family and pray that God will strengthen them in their hour of need.
