Thomas and Deborah were high school sweethearts who were married in Berkley, MO on December 14, 1968 and celebrated 54 years of marriage prior to Thomas's passing. In his spare time, he enjoyed trout fishing at Bennett Spring in Lebanon, MO, traveling, especially to Alaska and Hawaii, and he was an avid sports fan, cheering on the Kansas City Chiefs and St. Louis Blues. In his last ten years of retirement he loved traveling with his wife and family. Thomas was a loving husband, father, and grandfather who will be dearly missed by many family and friends." ~ Pitman Funeral Home
