Mr. Willie Thomas was born and raised in Forney, delivered by Dr. Christine Walker at his grandfather’s house. Growing up, his grandpa instilled in him a strong work ethic to “do the best you can at everything you do”. Never one to shy away from hard work, Willie eventually attended Forney High School and practiced football daily, while working a couple of jobs washing dishes and helping at the cotton gin in the evenings and at night and still pitching in on the farm.
