Anthony DeTHOMAS Obituary

DeTHOMAS, Anthony P. "Tony" PhD

Age 83, of Miamisburg, formerly of Huber Heights, passed away peacefully on September 19, 2021. He was the loving

husband of 42 years to

Susan (Ridgway) DeThomas. Born in Bangor, PA, to Primo

and Victoria (Capazzola)

DeThomas. He was employed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for 35 years as an

engineer.

He is survived by his devoted wife, Susan; children, Vicki (Dan) Binkley of Arcanum, Dale (Sally) DeThomas of Bellbrook, Jodi (Jack) DeBiasio of Wimauma, FL, Mary (Rocky) DiDonna of West Chicago, IL, Dawn (Franz) Kirchner of Miamisburg; 11 grandchildren, and 14 great-grandchildren, all of whom loved their Pappy, and brother, Isidore (Yvonne) DeThomas of

Tony loved to travel and had an adventurous spirit traveling to every corner of the globe. He was constantly seeking knowledge on every topic, enjoyed people, and never met a stranger. When not traveling he was always tinkering with projects, gardening, and enjoying life with his family. Tony enjoyed life to the fullest and routinely had people laughing with his humor and wit. Tony was a kind, loving man who was a generous donor to many charities dear to his heart.

I was a good friend of Susan's when she met and married Tony. Susan, I'm so sorry to hear of Tony's passing. I didn't know him well and haven't seen either of you in more years than I want to admit. But, the great memories are still there and I just want you to know I'm thinking of you during this time. Stay strong. Glenda

Tony worked for me when I was Director of the Flight Dynamics Laboratory from 1995 to 1997.
I valued his advice, intellect, quick wit and contagious smile.
Rest in Peace, Tony.
My prayers are with your family.
