Dear Jim Thomas and all "Whitey" Thomas family members: I knew Whitey when I was a young teen. He was dating my sister, Penny. I really looked up to him. He was such a nice guy. I remember watching him walk up our alley to catch the bus home. I even tried to walk like him. I will fondly remember him, always. Congratulations to those of you that got to share his life. Hang on to your memories.
