I have tried to come up with the right words to say. What can I say about the most Godly man I have ever meet? You were such a role model for your family. You welcomed me into your family without looking back. I see so much of you in Herb Jr. He was so proud to call himself your son. You were the role model for how husbands should treat their wife’s. Thank you for welcoming me into your family. I will miss you more than anyone knows. Till we meet again in Glory.
Herb and Louise were wonderful servants of our Lord. One of our fondest memories was a fish fry at our home. The Beacons were there to share their music. A wonderful evening with Christian friends.

I am very sorry for the loss of your father. He was a good man. I love you all
My dear sweet daddy was loved by so many and he loved them all . He was my hero. As a little girl I thought he was 10 feet tall and the strongest man in the world. I remember so clearly how he would scoop me up with those huge arms like I was a feather and carry me off to bed after I fell asleep in his lap. After a hard days work he would recline back in his recliner to relax and here come me and Diane running to jump in his lap. One on each side , we sat with him and watched TV every night. It was the highlight of our day! He never told us “Get down I’m tired” ……ever! When my legs would hurt from” growing pains” he would lay in bed with me with my legs over his chest and rub them for hours till I stopped crying and fell asleep . I would call out to him at night when I needed to go to the bathroom “Daddy”…. “Daddy”……and half asleep he would come take me and tuck me back in bed cause he knew his little girl, me, was a big chicken. Lol Never , ever fussed at me for waking him. I feared nothing as long as he was there. He always had time for us. Even when we got older. He never failed us. The most amazing wonderful dad . How lucky we were! Thank you daddy for the wonderful life you gave us! Your awesome love will be with us forever! I love you with all my heart and miss you dearly❤️ I’ll see you later dad…….Love Donna
My sweet uncle Herb, one of the sweetest, most humble God-fearing man I have ever known. He loved his family his friends but more than anything he loved God his son Jesus and his church. I’m going to miss that precious voice loved by so many he and Herb Jr made our family reunion worth going to. I’m going to miss that sweet face and sweet smile but I know that God needed him to bring good to others. Herb Thomas, You have earned your wings. I will share the love that you showed us when I get sad I’ll remember; Scars in heaven, are only carried by our Jesus. Now you truly do have a new heart that will illuminate far and beyond we could imagine. You will be missed by so many. I see your smile, I hear your voice, and I’ll see you again; what a glorious day that will be, when we all see Jesus. God will take care of the family with the love you have for Him. Love you, Barbara
So sorry to hear of Herb’s passing. How I enjoyed his music every year at Paul Thompson’s lake house. Condolences to all the family
One of the sweetest Christian man i have ever known. i told him once after hearing his band, Herb i hate country and bluegrass music but after hearing your group i like bluegrass now, why because he knew personally who he was singing about and it showed . Heaven has gained one of the best. Prayers for his precious family love you Louise.
