So sad to say that our beloved Thomas has peacefully passed away. His family and friends are consoled knowing he is finally in comfort but will miss his love,passion and silliness.
Creating his jewelry not only brought you joy, but him as well. Sitting at the bench was his happy place and until his lasts days still relived our countless Maria Thomas stories.
On July 16th between 11 am-7 pm, Thomas’ family and friends will be honoring him at a service (priest lead prayers at 1:00 & 5:00):
Pinecliff Lake Club
1577 Union Valley road
West Milford NJ 07480
All are welcome, have some food, make a toast and to share their favorite Thomas stories.
Since The Shriner’s Children’s Hospital was close to Thomas’ heart, donations can be made in his honor at:

On a personal note, for over 40 years, I was half of Maria Thomas not only as hard working business partners, but loyal friends. We laughed and cried together, were marriage counselors for each other and helped raise each other’s boys. We became one big family. I am blessed and enriched for having had Tom in my life. The greatest way I can honor him is to forever hold dear the countless memories and lessons I learned that he never realized he gave.
