Thomas was a proud graduate of the University of Michigan where he received his master’s degree and was a member of the University of Michigan Marching Band. His passion for music was demonstrated in his ability to play both piano and trombone and was shared with countless students in his roles as band director and music teacher for Dearborn Heights District #7. When he wasn’t working, Thomas loved to be on the water and on the boat with his family. Lake Charlevoix was a favorite place to spend summers. Thomas’s love for his alma matter did not end upon graduation but continued throughout life as a long-term season ticket holder for the Michigan Wolverines. He loved returning each year at Homecoming to play “Hail to the Victors” in the alumni band. Go Blue!
