Hewson and husband, Peter; grandson, Dr. Larry Osborn and his wife, Faye; granddaughter, Jennifer Figueroa and husband, Lalo and great-grandchildren, Vanessa and Matthew all of Tucson. He has many nephews and nieces from around the country who also hold him in great esteem and love. Mr. Thomas served in the Navy in the 1920's and was recalled in early 1941 to meritoriously serve our country in World War II in the North Atlantic and the Pacific campaigns as a Chief Warrant Officer until 1946. He returned to Detroit to resume his job with the Fire Department retiring at a Captain's rank as Chief Engineer on the John F. Kendall Fire boat monitoring the Detroit waterfront. After retiring from the Fire Department, he worked as an engineer at one of the first shopping malls in the country, Northland Center in Southfield, Michigan. Never idle, he was an expert carver of small figures in tableaus, built renaissance instruments, gave his hand to oil painting and furniture making…but his real talent was sharing his generous and loving spirit to all who knew him. Mr.Thomas and his wife moved to the Tucson area in 1968 and resided in the Foothills for nearly 20 years. Funeral Services and interment will be held at a later date in Detroit, Michigan. The family requests those who wish to do so, may make contributions in Mr. Thomas' name to the Navy League, Tucson Firefighters Association or Handmaker's Hospice.
