Thomas's Story
I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps. Married Cynthia Coast ( New Brighton, PA), had a son with her, Thomas Jr. He was born at Camp Lejuene. Spent time at Camp Lejuene, NC with Kurt Keller, John Wagner, Jack Simon and Larry Klump. We were in Blissfield briefly after I EAS'd. Settled in Marion, Ohio, job at Whirlpool, electronics tech. Divorced Cynthia in 1981. Remarried 7 years later to Misty Benge (Marion native). Helped raise her daughter, Celeste, and have a child of our own, Macey. Macey was born in Marion on April 28, 1992. I divorced Misty in 2001.
I have worked my way to the top of the non-exempt ranks at Whirlpool. I am the lead of 3 at my position and have been at least 2 labor grades above all non-exempts for 12 years. I repair and calibrate test equipment and troubleshoot electronics all over the building.
I finished an associates degree in elect...Expand for more
ronics in 1989. I taught for 13 years (part time in evenings) at a local vocational center.
Thomas Jr and his wife Amber(Reigel) have given me 2 grandchildren. Hope (7) and Olivia (3). He is a computer geek at Honda. Amber is a wonderful stay at home mother.
Macey married Philip Cornell in December 2008. He was sent to Iraq in January 2009. We pray every day for his safe return.
I still love to be outdoors. I have lake property 26 miles from Marion. We camp, hike and fish there. I enjoy shooting also, as do my son and daughter.
God willing, I will complete my thirtieth year at Whirlpool on Thankgiving Day 2009. Been a long haul, I carry a radio and cell phone. They go off all hours of the day and night. Thankfully I am payed overtime.
I would like to retire at 55 but think it will be more like when I reach 59 and a half.
I've rambled on enough..........
