Obituary of Richard Lee Thomas Jr.

Beloved husband of Lindanne Thomas for 26 years. Loved father of Richard Lee Thomas III (Lauren), Ryan Lee Thomas (Taylor), Danielle Thomas and stepfather of William Lage (Kelly), Leigh Lage, and Luke Lage. Adored grandfather of four. Much loved twin brother of Robin Thomas Snellgrove (Jeff) and stepson of Roxanne Thomas.

Predeceased by his father, Richard Lee Thomas and mother, Norma B Thomas.

Rick was a voracious reader, staunch conservative, avid boater, crossword puzzler, brilliant mind, gifted mechanic, rabid college football fan, lover of country music and classic rock. Fiercely competitive, he spent years coaching and molding young men in baseball. He was a world class debater, stubborn as a mule and opinionated. He was quick witted and charming. Spending time with his wife and family, saltwater boating, and debating politics were his all-time favorite things. He touched many lives and was unforgettable.

A life extinguished too soon. He will be forever missed by his family.
