John âJackâ Thomas, age 82, passed away Friday December 4, 2020 following a short illness. Jack was a life resident of Pulaski, born on June 27, 1938, the son of John and Beatrice Wilder Thomas. John was married to Nancy Boyd on April 21, 1961. He enlisted in the United States Army and served until 1963. Jack was employed by Schoeller Technical Papers as a manager in shipping and receiving for 33 years, retiring in 1997.
Once retired, Jack was happiest while working in his workshop or building something in the backyard. He and Nancy adventured to 48 of the 50 states. They enjoyed traveling in their RV camper, crossing the width of the US more than once. This passion for travel took them on boat trips down the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, train trips across the Rockies and Alaska and even to the Panama Canal.
