Guy W. Thomas

21 February 1958 - 13 March 2025

We are sad to say that Guy Thomas, former chair of two FOGcons and long-term attendee, died early on 13th March, 2025 in hospital in San Leandro . He was an important member of our FOGcon and FOGcon committee communities, and a visible presence at our gatherings. He will be missed.

Born with a neuromuscular disease, Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2, Guy was a lifelong disabilities advocate. He leaves behind his partner, Carol Squires, whom he was with for over forty years; and Serene Vannoy with whom he was in an open relationship for more than twenty years.
From his last post on Facebook: "It hasn't been the easiest life, but it has been the most joyful life."

Farewell, Guy, from all of us at FOGcon.
