In Memory

Gary Wayne Thomas

I had first met Gary at Bonham Junior High School as a 7th grader.  He and I were reunited at OHS.  Gary played on the Broncho Basketball Team. I did not have any classes with him at OHS and we ran in different circles. 

I had gotten out of the Army in 1970 and was attending my junior year at UTA.  I worked briefly for a Whataburger Store just south of the University.  Gary was also attending UTA and worked with me at that store,  He had gotten married and I believe he had transferred to UTA from North Texas State.  I found another part time job that fit my schedule much better.  I would run into Gary on campus after that.  He was an engineering student.  I transferred to Howard Payne my senior year.  It is my understanding that Gary completed his engineering studies and was working in the Dallas area. He passed away from cardiac arrest on November 5, 1991.
