Thomas was preceded in death by his mother, Louis Mason, and his father, Jack Foley.
Thomas was a hardworking man who lived life on his own terms. He proudly served in the United States Army for 10 years as an Infantryman and Telecommunications Specialist. During his military service, he served in the Vietnam War, earning the National Defense Service Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Army Commendation Medal, and Vietnam Service Medal with three Bronze Service Stars. His service to his country will always be remembered and respected.
He enjoyed riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycles and spending time with his dog, Mr. Peabody. Those who knew him knew he had a personality all his own. He could be stubborn, tough, and mean as hell when he wanted to be, but he was also a devoted father and a man who left a lasting impression on everyone who crossed his path.
He was never one to put on a show or pretend to be someone he wasn't.
