He was born May 6, 1950 in Caracas, Venezuela, a son of Frank A. and Jean Fraser LeRoy . He was a graduate of Hamilton High School and received his A.A.S. from SUNY, Canton. On May 24, 1975, Thomas married Susan “Sue” Wheeler in Hamilton.

He was a devoted family man who enjoyed fishing and hunting, particularly at garage sales. After retiring he spent much of his time observing the wildlife around his home and appreciated the solitude of nature, especially while spending summers with his family in Maine.
