On This Day in Family History - July 31

 David Thomas Spayde was born 31 July 1933

He was the son of Georganna Thomas and Paul Spayde

Georganna was the daughter of Roy and Mabel Thomas (brother of my grandfather Bill Thomas)

Photo: Roy and Mabel Thomas

Roy and Mabel had 4 children - Russell, Georganna, Helen, and Ruth

I have this picture of Roy and Mabel with ... I assume some of their children and a grandchild. 

Can any of my Thomas relatives tell me specifically who these people are? I'd love to know, because I don't have any good pictures of some of Roy and Mabel's children.

Also, I have this picture which I believe is Roy Thomas (not sure) with a child that may be his, or a grandchild. Help, anyone?

Here is the text of David Spayde's obituary:
