David Harold Thomas

Tribute

David Harold Thomas was born on March 10th, 1933, and passed away on May 12th, 2024. He is survived by his loving wife of 57 years, Kathy, as well as many good friends, cousins, and extended family members. Dave enjoyed working with his hands, building and repairing boats, racing six meters, chartering, cruising, fishing, scuba diving, and living aboard. He then turned to farming; raising sheep, chickens, calves, as well as a baby raccoon, a goat, a foal, and many dogs and cats. He had a large vegetable garden and planted over a hundred rhododendrons and azaleas, which were at their most beautiful when he died. Next came a pilot’s license and exploring by air, Alaska and B.C.’s West Coast. Dave loved his farm and all the young people who passed through, learning to ride or going for joy rides in his plane. He was a true Salt Springer; his kindness and generosity touched many hearts. Thank you to the manager and staff of the Lady Minto ECU. There will be a celebration of life in the fall.
