Publish in a newspaper
Thomas was a 1963 graduate of Washington High School. He owned and operated his own carpentry business. An accomplished musician, Thomas was a member of two popular local bands, Country Knights and Centerline, both played at many venues in the area. He was a charter member of the Washington Township Volunteer Fire Department, a former officer of the Washington Moose Lodge, and a member of the Christ United Methodist Church.
Those who now mourn Thomas' passing include his sons: Scott Joseph Matteson of Washington; Billy Gene (Malinda) Matteson of Montgomery; and Todd Alan (Leah) Matteson of Newburgh. Thomas was blessed with seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
During his lifetime, Thomas grieved the loss of his parents, Eugene and Eileen Matteson; the mother of his children, Cynthia Matteson; and sisters, Charlene Thomas and Melanie Wayman.

I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Tom at the B&O RR division engineers office in Washington from 1970 to 1974. We shared many good times as members of the engineering corp managed by Larry McLin. Lots of great memories. My condolences to the family.
