He worked as a bricklayer his whole adult life. Thomas was a very hard worker and enjoyed working. He used to say, “No time to be tired. You can rest when you’re dead.” Every stone he laid meant something to Thomas. He was the life of the party, and loved to go dancing. His laugh was unforgettable.

He was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Joe Peter Hernandez and Ramond Guzman and three sisters, Alberta Hernandez Salazar, Jackie Hernandez and Patsy Beehler.
