Eight Bells: Capt. Philip (PJ) Thomas, Class of 2008, Bahamian Pilot


As you may already know, we lost Bahamian Pilot Captain Philip Thomas '08 in Hurricane Dorian on Sept 1st. The Cat 5 powerful winds reaching 180 MPH coupled with an enormous storm surge, swept Philip and his 3 children out to sea. Philip fought to rescue his family, but only succeeded in saving his wife, before heading into the sea after his children. His last action in life was ensuring Barri survived.


He will be sorely missed by all.


In the wake of this tragedy, a number of Schuyler alumni have set up a GoFundMe account to provide some assistance to Barri, Philips' surviving wife. We encourage you to contribute.


EVERY DOLLAR RAISED IN THIS CAMPAIGN WILL GO DIRECTLY TO CAPTAIN PHILIP'S WIFE, BARRI THOMAS.
