Thomas E. Pooley, 75, passed away after a long illness, February 7, 2015. He was born April 4, 1939, the son of Harry and Virginia (Schaefer) Pooley.
Thomas graduated from DeVilbiss High School in Toledo and joined the United States Air Force after his graduation. He began his military career as an Aircraft Electrician and worked his way to Advertising/Art Layout Man in Graphic Tech by the time he retired.
