Thomas retired from Flint Hills, closing a long chapter of steady work and dedication.
He shared his life with his wife, Gloria Jean Kimble, in Corpus Christi, where together they built a home marked by warmth, laughter, and treasured memories—an enduring reflection of a beloved husband and companion.
Thomas found joy in the outdoors and in simple, lasting pleasures. He loved hiking, music, and camping at Fox Fire Cabins near Lost Maples State Park. He also enjoyed watching the old 1950’s “Gunsmoke Tv Series,” returning often to the familiar stories and characters.
Thomas was preceded in death by his mother, Rosalia C Kimble, and his father, Clarence H. Kimble.
Thomas is survived by his wife, Gloria Jean Kimble; and his sisters, Connie Bryan, Judy Burrows, Karen Klein, Pam Stoltz, Jacque Kimble, Jeanne Kimble, Mary Anne Hosch, Linda Davis, and Patty Hormann.
