He always told everybody he was born in 1933, which made him a depression baby, because when he was born his parents looked at him and got very depressed. He graduated from Batavia High School in 1950, as he said with a diploma in one hand and a boot you know where. He married Nina Sue Daniels at the Batavia Methodist Church on April 12, 1952. Together they had three children; Phil, Teresa, and Caboose (AKA: Mark). Gene worked as an independent trucker and then for John Morrell as a territory salesman. He left Morell and started what became his true passion, selling heavy duty trucks and trailers. He worked for Chamberlin Country Supply and Stahly Truck City, but for over 30 years he sold for the Grask family selling Peterbilts, his true passion. Gene grew up on a farm South of Batavia and moved away when he graduated but the farm never left his heart and soul. He lived for and loved his garden. His wife said she never worried about his mistress because she could look out the kitchen widow and see her. He was also passionate about history and was a voracious reader. Gene was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, Bob Thomas and a sister-in-law, Jean. Gene is survived by his wife of 67 years, Nina Thomas of Batavia; three children, Phil (Debra) Thomas of Vinton, IA, Teresa (Jim) Hollingsworth of Marion, Iowa, and Mark Thomas of Batavia, IA; seven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren, as well as one coming soon, and two great great grandchildren. He also cherished his many nieces and nephews, many friends, and the loving and compassionate staff at Parkview Care Center. OttumwaPost September 3, 2019
