I spent many an hour at "Little" Georges house watching Dizzy Dean and the baseball game of the week as well as playing hoops in his driveway back in the 60's .He was a champ at 4 horses.. Last saw George when he visited Steamboat Springs years ago and we had dinner. What a nice guy. His passing -- what a waste.. You will be missed, George.

Lisa Flores

Back in the day when physicians rounded in the hospital on their own patients, I met Dr Thomas . He would walk into the nursing station with a heavy sigh and a smile. I quickly came to realize what a brilliant physician he was ! And so, he has been my doctor & friend for 33 + years . I can not begin to say how much he will be missed ! Love & prayers to his wife & daughter .

I have heard he has been a wonderful doctor for many people over these years. Many prayers and beautiful, loving memories for his family and friends. Rest In Peace, George.

Terry Shipman

Dido to all above. Dr. Thomas was the best physician I've ever known. In addition to that,, he knew baseball trivia. better than anyone. I would throw trivia questions to him and the only ones he did not get were such obscure factoids that I was pretty sure he would not know the correct answer. Sometimes, after giving it some thought, he would get even the obscure ones. There was one, that I absolutely knew he would not get, well, he DID. I knew he was really sick when he did not respond to my last trivia question. He did answer the previous one, correctly the day before. I will miss you Doc. You have left a big hole in a lot of lives. Nancy and I extend our deepest condolences to Kathy, Maris, and all of George's family.

TERRI PREJEAN EWING

Rolland Comeau

Really sorry to hear of George's passing. I knew George as a friend starting in elementary school at Averill all the way through our years at BHS. We played baseball. basketball, and everything else that kids did together during the 50s He was known affectionately to us as "Little George". Although he was small in statue, George was BIG in everything else he accomplished. We lived about two blocks from each other. I have fond memories of all the fun we had together many years ago. Great Friend. Great Man. Rest in peace "Little George".. May God be with you my friend.

Charles Crim M.D.

Of course the family and patients knew George better than I did. But before they knew him we were in medical school together at Galveston and in the same fraternity. Always looked sharp, always a good sense of humor and a good 2nd baseman on our softball team. I attended his reception into the first medical group he joined in Beaumont. We practiced in the same building for many years and talked numerous times about patients in common but did not cross paths often. Because of the person he was this is not just a loss of a life but a loss in the lives of his family and patients as well.

Joanie Amacker Haley

I still remember George’s slogan when running for office at BHS : “From tiny acorns, great oaks grow!” He certainly grew to tower over us all with his true intellect and dedication to his community and family. We will treasure the memories we shared from the 50’s and 60’s. My sincerest condolences - Joanie

The memories we have with Dr. George will forever be in our memories. I always had great conversations about baseball with him, I remember texting back and forth during the Astros World Series win and seeing him in t.v.! The man was full of life and has a special place in our hearts. Love and prayers are with you always.

Bill Smartt

George and I spent many nights at each other’s house growing up. When at my house, sometimes our tempers would get the better of us and he would call his mother to come get him. By the time she arrived, we had made up and she turned around and went home. At his house it was yard games. There were many, but the best one was probably kick the can. George was my mother’s doctor in her final years. A fine doctor, a fine person.

William P. Allison

I'm another one who started Averill School in 1950 and graduated BHS in 1963. We were good friends in our younger years and remained friends through high school. Some have written of his love of baseball but I'm here to tell you he was a hell of a good basketball player. We played many rounds of one-on-one and "Horse" at his house and a few at mine. By late high school I was 6'6" and George ("Little George") remained at 5'3-4". However, I had a renowned 2" vertical leap and George could jump and float. Besides, he had really good technique and a beautiful shot. Two final thoughts about George. He never objected to being called "Little George" when we were younger. When we got older, he incorporated into his persona and used it as a positive and never let his lack of height get to him. I also never beat him in one-on-one because I had that unwieldy size and he had the techniques. The second is that from George's obituary it seems he practiced exactly the same type of medicine as my father did. It does not surprise me that so many Beaumonter's feel like he was a great doctor who did not do medicine by the numbers but did medicine by the patients. He cared! What better tribute could a physician receive?

dENISE Blain Dale

I do not have the words to say all I feel. I worked for and knew Dr. Thomas as a friend, most intelligent Physician and compassionate human being that I ever knew. His brilliance as a Diagnostician was well known and his kindness and dedication to his Practice was legendary. He was loved. Sympoathy and prayers tro Maris and Kathy. Rest in Peace my friend.

Rene S Greenwald
