The family would also like to mention his good friends Bill Haley, Dan Sims, and Ethan Eatherton and his faithful dogs Mingo and Clint.

After graduating from Findlay High School Thomas did construction where he was self employed for most of his life until his last job at Ball Metal. Thom was an avid outdoorsman. He enjoyed hunting, trapping, fishing, and rustic camping. To his family's dismay, he especially loved to camp and trap in the dead of winter. Along with his son Josh, he raised chickens, ducks, and turkeys. In his youth, Thom enjoyed playing softball with his brothers. He was one of the best left fielders in the league. After he retired from playing ball, he took on the role of coach/advisor for Emily as she played softball for many years. He loved all sports and could talk at length about his favorite teams which included The Ohio State football team, the Cleveland Indians, and the Cleveland Browns. He passionately followed the local high school football and basketball teams. He was a family man and a treasured friend to many. He will be deeply missed. There will be no services held as Thom will be laid to rest in a private setting. A celebration of life will be planned for a later date.
