His presence will forever be with us. Our dear friend and co-founder of Joshua House, Bob Thomas, a man known for his wealth, faith, and philanthropy, passed away on Sunday, September 2, 2007. He was 83. The late Bob Thomas was part of the team of community leaders that dreamed of and founded Joshua House, a shelter for abused and abandoned children in Hillsborough County. Thomas was known for his munificence. A devout man with a sharp business mind and equally sharp wit, he spent his retirement dedicated to church-related and charitable causes. Actually, he spent his working years dedicated to the same. Bob Thomas is sorely missed by all of us at the Friends of Joshua House Foundation, but his co-founders, Dottie Berger MacKinnon, Olin Mott and Greg Johnson feel his absence the most. We extend our deepest sympathies to the entire Thomas family and to the Tampa Bay community. Truly, one of the best has been received by the Lord.
