Born on June 15, 1947, in Barnesville, Ohio, a son of the late George and Mary C. Dale Doll.

Throughout his life, Thomas dedicated himself to his work as a Federal Mine Inspector for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), where he contributed to ensuring the safety and well-being of countless workers. His career was marked by a deep commitment to the welfare of others and a steadfast dedication to his duties.

A proud veteran, Thomas served honorably in the United States Air Force, embodying the values of service and sacrifice.

Thomas’s passion for fishing was unparalleled, and he found immense joy and peace in the simple pleasure of casting a line and waiting patiently for a bite. His love for the sport was infectious, and he cherished every moment spent by the water.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Judith “Judy” Ballog Doll on December 28, 2018 and his brother Michael Doll.
