I will never forget Thomas. I have know him since 1981. We worked out for years. He was a strong man back in them days. Squat: 600 pounds, leg pressed over 1200 pounds, bench pressed 430 pounds, dead lift was 500 pounds in 1981 I ask Thomas to do something with that. Thomas replied with what? I told him he would be an animal if he would work out. It was about a week he came up to me said he was ready. We started at my house, I had a Marcey maching after putting more weights on it with and all tread bolt we started to bend the handles on the machine so we started at a gym. The first gym was Champion gym from there we had quite a journey. We met so many friends. In our group was Thomas our leader, Gary Battenfield, Cliff Pounsil, Justin Turnbow, Troy Hudson, Markus Harper, and several more as we went on. When Thomas kidneys failed I ask if I could give one of mine. My doctor said mine were not clinically good enough. I would have given a kidney and a lung if I could just have Thomas back! I loved him so much he is truly my brother, I hate that he is gone! I will never get over it. I will see him again some day. I know he is with his Mother and Cliff and out of pain! Thomas, I love you man!!!!!!
