Born on March 1, 1957, Thomas was known for his entrepreneurial spirit and dedication, both as a family man and a professional.

We are so sorry for your loss. Remember him and the Datres crew at Andy's when we were little and took the bus to shop 4th and 5th Ave and eat there. Just spent time with my high school friend, Nancy and family at the new camp by the river. Such a great family and you will surely support each other and to celebrate his life.

I remember Thomas was the milk Nazi at St. Joseph´s Catholic School in New Kensington. As students would return their lunch trays after finishing their lunch, Thomas would "jiggle" the milk carton to make sure you drank your milk! To this day I despise milk, so I always dreaded Thomas sending me back to my lunch table to finish my milk! Thomas was very conscientious about his work at a young age!
