He was the third of five sons to Murad and Jamila Thomas. He is survived by his devoted wife, Majdolin (Kalasho) of 40 years and his three sons Steven (Julianne), Matthew (Megan), and Mark (Stephanie). He was a proud grandfather to Grace, Simon, Margo and Vincent. Bill will be dearly missed by his brothers Frank, Tommy and Peter as well as his 15 nephews and nieces. Bill was proceeded into Heaven by both his parents as well as his older brother Alex. In 1966 Bill earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in marketing from the Detroit Institute of Technology and a Masters in Education from Wayne State University in 1970. He became a business teacher at Murray Wright High School and then left his teaching position to take over a bankrupt grocery store. He very quickly achieved record sales and profits at his supermarket, Safeway Foods. In 1986, Bill became a licensed Real Estate Broker and soon became heavily involved in the investment, development and management of residential and commercial real estate. In his 76 years on Earth, Bill touched the lives of countless people. He was a loving husband, father, grandfather, son, brother, uncle and friend. Bill was most devoted to God and the Catholic Church. He was a humble and faithful man who always put the needs of others over himself. He was also a generous philanthropist and even volunteered his time at soup kitchens to help the needy. This loving and honest man will be dearly missed by all those whose lives he touched. We celebrate his passing from this life to join the Lord our God in heaven. JUNE 2019 CHALDEAN NEWS 19
