For work, Thomas spent nearly 20 years at FSS (formerly known as Alexander Mill) in Sebring, Ohio, running the "wet-side" department. Outside of work Thomas loved cars and motorcycles. He enjoyed working on, driving and researching them. He rode his Harley Davidson nearly everyday, no matter the weather. He was always down for a car ride in the country with the stereo up loud. Music was a important part of his life, as he always had a stereo in the house and a system in the car. He had a song for any mood and/or moment, while constantly learning new songs he would also share with his sons. He also enjoyed fishing with friends and watching movies with his sons.

While he previously expressed no wishes for services of any type, his family is planning a small gathering for family and close friends. Dates will be announced and scheduled as soon as possible. Those wishing to send condolences may sign the online register at: www.gotschallfuneralhome.com
