Born on July 1, 1947, in Covington, Kentucky, Thomas was the beloved son of the late Edward and Mary Louise Maile (nee Cappel). He was a proud U.S. Army veteran, having served during the Vietnam War, and always spoke with honor about his time in service to his country.

He was a proud alumnus of Covington Catholic High School and was known for his unwavering loyalty to his alma mater, as well as his passionate support of the University of Kentucky Wildcats.

He also leaves behind his grandchildren, Isaac and Grace, and numerous other family members and friends.
Thomas’s love for his family was unconditional, and his impact on the lives of those he touched was immeasurable. His legacy of faith, kindness, and dedication will live on in the hearts of all who had the honor of knowing him.
