AD will be missed dearly, he knew no strangers he was a friend to everyone. I remember all the times we laughed and he gave advise calling me a chicken acting like a rooster...lol. I will missed that ear in the time of uncertainties.

My deepest sympathy to the family of AD Thomas and may God keep you near and dear.
