Condolences

Condolence From: Candace and Dawson Carriere
Condolence: To the family of Coke,
We were saddened to hear of Coke's passing. We were both students of his at Champion High School. He and I (Candy) shared the same birthday and he made that day special by walking into the classroom and saying "Great people were born today". We also had very nice visits with him in Apache Junction, AZ.
Our condolences to the Thomas Family.
Candace and Dawson Carriere

Condolence From: Gil & Karen Lukkonen
Condolence: Karen and I would like to express our condolence on the passing of Clarence. We only had the privilege of being his neighbor on Big Shag lake since 2013.

He was a true friend during these summer months.

I will give you a example; one day I had been working removing leaves from our adjacent properties and Coke came out to offered the use of his wheel barrel saying; you remaind me of myself years ago while working around the camp!

What a great complement from a person so many people lovered and admired.

We also loved hearing some of the tails Robert and Nita said about Coke around the fire pit at camp.

Again our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Thomas family.

Condolence From: anonymous
Condolence: My sympathies to the Thomas family. I am a Champion School alumnus...graduated in the 70's. I remember Mr. Thomas as a very nice man. I was absolutely touched when he sent us a sympathy card almost 6 years ago when our child passed away. I had not seen him in over 35 years, yet he remembered us at such a difficult time. This is a testament to his true character. God Bless your family.

Condolence From: Sue Hamilton on behalf of Pat Nelson
Condolence: My father, John "Pat" Nelson, was very close to Coke. Dad does not have access to the internet but if he did he would leave his condolence. Below is his favorite passage from the bible.

"You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

Isaiah 55:12
