Thomas developed a liking in shining floors so he started his own floor care business called, "Holt's Floor Care." He enjoyed it so that he would wax his garage. He loved working in his yard and doing things around the house.

Thomas accepted Christ at a young age at Antioch Baptist Church and was baptized in the river in Tennessee. He enjoyed serving the Lord and was faithful to the church. You talking about someone who could sing, He could sing! He loved quartet music and sung top with the Singing Angels Quartet for many years.
