His career spanned over three decades, during which he rose to the position of Vice President overseeing the Government, Retail, and Healthcare Sectors, leaving an indelible mark on the industry. On April 12, 1969, Thomas married his beloved Margaret (Jacobson), with whom he shared 57 years of marriage filled with love, partnership, and adventure.

Casey, whose achievements and happiness were his greatest joys. A devoted grandfather, Thomas cherished his time with his grandchildren, Alexander (A.J.), Zachary, and Casey Parks, as well as Karoline and Tabitha Casey.
