The Boston Druggists' Association recognizes
the passing of our member
Spiros Thomas
Spiros “Sonny” Thomas, 83, of Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, passed away suddenly on November 17, 2025. A devoted husband, father, grandfather, brother, and friend, Spiros lived each day with kindness, humility, and a quiet strength that touched everyone who knew him.
Born on March 11, 1942, in Lowell, Massachusetts, Spiros grew up surrounded by a strong sense of family and community. He shared many close bonds with his brothers. Spiros’s dedication to learning and personal growth guided much of his life journey. He pursued a rewarding career as a pharmacist, spending over three decades as Director of Pharmacy at Cape Cod Hospital —a profession that allowed him to help others and form lasting connections. He later expanded his professional life by earning a master’s in business from Suffolk University and becoming a real estate broker. He was previously on staff at the New England Deaconess Hospital. He was a member of the Boston Druggists' Association and the Mass Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
In January, 1969, Spiros married Carolyn Wooldridge of New Bedford MA, beginning a partnership that spanned 56 joyful years. Together they built a life centered on love, laughter, and deep devotion to their two sons. Spiros was more than a father—he was a role model, mentor, and constant source of wisdom. His greatest pride and joy, however, came from his four grandchildren with whom he shared countless memories and who will forever carry his spirit forward.
Spiros led a full and vibrant life, sharing his time between his work, his passions, and the people he loved. Carolyn and Spiros’s love of the Cape brought them to East Dennis, Ma. He was a member of Dennis Pines and Highlands golf courses and was especially proud to join the Cummaquid Golf Club. Golf was a favorite pastime. Another passion that he had was his vegetable gardens. His ability to listen, offer warmth, and make others feel valued was his quiet superpower—one that left an enduring mark on everyone he met.
A celebration of Spiros’s life was held on Saturday, December 6, 2025.
