  Edgar Eugene Thomas, Jr., 76, a resident of Maupin, died Sunday, April 6, 
2003, at the local hospital.
     He was born April 8, 1926, in Enterprise, the oldest son of Edgar E. and 
Portia (Steel) Thomas. Following his graduation from Enterprise High School he 
was drafted into the U.S. Army and served during WWII in Okinawa.
     Retiring from the Army after 20 years of service to his country, he 
started a new career with United Airlines and served with that company for 
another 20 years.
     He then retired to his favorite spot, Maupin, in the early 1980s and 
pursued his fishing interests. His favorite fishing spots were New Zealand and 
Maupin. He also enjoyed fishing and hunting in Wasco and Wallowa counties.
     He is survived by two brothers, Wayne S. Thompson, West Linn; and James 
Thomas, Roseville, Calif.; as well as nephews Mike, Dick, Gregg, John and 
James Thomas and nieces Susan, Julie, and Mary-Elizabeth.
At his request no public services will be held. The family will observe 
private ceremonies of remembrance in conjunction with the disposition of his 
ashes. Arrangements were by Columbia Cremation & Burial.
