He is also survived by his brother, Gregory; and sister, Robin Armstrong; along with a niece and nephew; and many cousins and friends.

Thomas graduated from Bowsher High School in 1966. Once a "Rebel" always a "Rebel"! He also served in the USAF from 1967-1971 during the Vietnam War. Thomas had an outstanding love for his country and was a huge sports fan, mainly of the Ohio State Buckeyes.
