He was born on January 12, 1936 in Portsmouth, Ohio to the late Charles & Dora (Allison) Lancaster. Thomas was employed at General Motors and worked the assembly line for 25 years until his retirement in 1989.
Thomas was a sports fan at heart. He always rooted for the Indianapolis Colts, his favorite football team, and loved to watch college athletics, especially when IU was playing. He enjoyed walking and playing basketball at the park and had a talent for coaching. He coached basketball at a youth center, basketball and baseball at Holy Cross, and was the coach for his son’s baseball team, the Eastside Little League, and the Brookside Little League. Thomas will be remembered as a mentor by many and as a wonderful grandfather who treasured every moment he could spend with his grandkids. He will be dearly missed.
