He was united in holy matrimony with Celita Charles. Thomas’s first job in the United states was construction.

He truly enjoyed stories from his great nieces and nephews. In late 2010, he moved in with his nephew Louis and his wife, Marie Flor Fleurant who cared for him. While being in their company, he shared wisdom to all who met him. As a result of his generous spirit and pleasant personality, he was loved by many.
