Larry E. Thomas entered into eternal peace with the Lord on July 14, 2020 in Houston. He was born on September 5, 1943 in Butler, Pennsylvania to parents, Kenneth and Doris Thomas.
Larry was baptized as an infant into the Christian faith. He graduated from Marietta College in Marietta, Ohio in 1965 with a degree in Petroleum Engineering and came to Texas via Louisiana as fast as he could. He worked in the oil and gas industry drilling wells for over 50 years and was highly respected by his colleagues because of his expertise in planning
and drilling deep wells in the inland waters, Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico.
He had a handsome face with a smile and laugh that melted hearts. And without a doubt, Larry was a sharp-dressed man. He loved his family and friends, motorcycle trips, hunting trips, Marty trips, and target practice with his buddies. He was the ultimate gentleman.
Larry is survived by his wife of 41 years, Marty Thomas; sister-in-law, Karen Paul; brother-in-law, David Paul and wife, Rosalie Paul; son, Jeffrey Thomas; daughter, Tracy Thomas; granddaughter, Chloe Thomas; two nieces, a nephew, and their families.
