Roger M. Thomas ’52

Lefty came to us from Browne & Nichols School. At Princeton, he joined Colonial, studied English, and played hockey and 150-pound football. He roomed with Crowell Baker, Rob Goodale, and Moorhead Kennedy.

After Army service in the artillery, he earned a law degree from Virginia Law School and an L.L.M in taxation from B.U. Law School.

Lefty’s career was chiefly as a trustee and estates attorney with Gaston & Snow in Boston. He volunteered with Browne & Nichols and Virginia Law and was a fellow of the American College of Trust and Estate Counsel.

Lefty died Dec. 12, 2023. He is survived by his wife, Dorothea; and their children Donald and Helen.  The class sends its best to them, with appreciation of Lefty’s service to our country.
