This is dear old Dad. Man of pride. Served his country during the Korean War and left with an honorable discharge as a sargent of somekind. The plague with all his citations and ribbons are on the wall in a spare bedroom.

He is currently patriarch of the family. Me is proud of his wife whom serves as Eucharistic Minister right next to the Deacon of the church some days.

Thomas knows every decision about Patricia is a tough one. Torn between paying off his mortage with a complaining wife or saving his daughter's life. So long as Patricia seeks to defer her longevity it fits well into his plans. Of course he is known to cry from time to time but only out of self pitty should his lack of morality even be known to his Pastor and god. That was god with a small G.
