Paul W. Thomas 1933-2026

Paul was born in Youngstown to the late Paul R. and Mary Giba Thomas.

He is a veteran of the United States Army, having served in the Korean War.

In 1956, he returned to Youngstown to marry the love of his life, Marjorie Stein, and raised a family.

He was a member of Plumber & Pipefitters Union #396 for 73 years and retired in 1995.

He enjoyed boating on the lakes in the Youngstown area and on Lake Erie, traveling with his wife, including a four-week road trip out West, and spending winters in Florida. He also bowled in a league for many years, scoring a high game of 289.

He is preceded in death by his parents, Paul R. and Mary Thomas; wife, Marjorie Stein Thomas; and daughter, Christine Thomas.

He is survived by his children, Sheryl (George) Baker and Darryl (Laura) Thomas; grandchildren, Brian (Sugene) Baker, Gina Baker, Bill (Amanda) Thomas, Dennis (Erica) Thomas, Krystal Mills, Dina (Ben) Campolito, Laura (Gaige) Campolito and Danny Campolito; great-grandsons, Tyler, Miles and Jude; and son-in-law, Dino Campolito.

A memorial service will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

The family would like to give a very special “thank you” to the caregivers and hospice team from Corso Care, as well as the staff at StoryPoint Pickerington. Their loving care for Paul and the support for the family made all the difference in this difficult time.
