Born in Toronto, Thomas began his news career as a newsboy at the corner of Bathurst Street and Bloor Street in 1925.[1] After one year of high school, Thomas was hired by the Toronto Star as a copyboy in 1929.[2] He worked his way as a general reporter in the early 1930s to becoming the paper's crime reporter by 1939. In the 1960s, Thomas entered a new medium by becoming a radio crime reporter on CFRB.[3] Thomas' career involved covering the minor criminal activities in Toronto's suburbs, but also famous criminal stories:
Widely remembered for his unique sign-off at the end of his live radio news reports: "This is Jocko Thomas of The Toronto Star reporting to CFRB... from police headquarters." Retired in 1989, Thomas died at a long-term care facility in North York at the age of 96.[4] Awards
