Captain Thomas was our coordinator for BLET when I attended it at Stanly Community College in 2002. He was always the kind of man to brighten your day. I last saw him at RADAR recert 2018. He still remembered my name.

Eric was a tremendous Officer and Instructor. He was so influential to generations of cops and had the best sense of humor of just about anyone I've ever known. We're praying for his family and grateful for the time and knowledge he shared with so many of us.
I AM BLESSED FOR HAVING KNOWN OFFICER THOMAS. SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY.
I am greatly saddened by this news. Eric was my friend as well as his Dad, Jack Thomas. He was a fine officer and we worked on many cases together. He was a loyal supporter in my campaign for Superior Court in 2008. Rest In Peace my friend. You touched my life in a most positive way.
I have known Eric for about 30 years. From his time at the Sheriff's Office, Albemarle PD, Locust PD and Stanly Community College, Eric was always the same person. Professional, helpful, funny and genuine. I most enjoyed his stories of the "good ole' days" and of his escapades down in Anson County. Eric was a great chef to. Always grilling up some great food when we would qualify the Locust and Stanfield police departments every year. You were one-of-a-kind. I will miss you greatly Eric.
Pam, I'm so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family in this time of grief. Love you!
So long for now old friend. You will be missed.
