Charles William Thomas

Charles "Dub" William Thomas, age 85, of Bonham, Texas passed away Friday, March 19, 2021 at Clyde W. Cosper Texas State Veterans Home in Bonham, Texas. Cremation arrangements are under the direction of Wise Funeral Home.

Dub was born on May 3, 1935 in Appleton City, Missouri, the son of Harry Thomas and Maudrea Brown Thomas Kelland. He served in the United States Air Force and retired after 21 years of service. He taught computer maintenance during his time in the service; he worked for GSA doing the same until he retired. Dub was a very caring and loving man. He could be very opinionated at times, but that just added to his charm. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed teaching his grandson the art of the game. Dub was adventurous; so much so, in his 70's he decided to ride motorcycles again. This did not last long due to injuries endured during one of his rides, but he had fun while it lasted. He dearly loved his high school sweetheart, his beloved wife Geneva Rose Hueser, whom he married on August 19, 1971 in Kansas City, Missouri. Dub is preceded in death by his parents, brother, Donald Thomas, and grandson Phillip Young.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Geneva Rose Thomas of Bonham, Texas; sons, Glenn Young and wife Nancy Jones of South Lake, Texas, Richard Young and wife Judy of Ivanhoe, Texas, Charles Young of Bonham, Texas, and Ronald Young and wife Laurie of Dewey, Arizona; daughters, Nancy Young of Bonham, Texas and Gail Young of Bonham, Texas; sister, Winifred Granger of Colorado; 8 grandchildren, 11 great-grandchildren, numerous nieces, nephews, extended family, and a host of friends.
