Thomas George Hohl, 73, of Lincoln, Neb., the son of Tony and Erma Lee Hohl, was born June 22, 1948, in Hebron, at Grandpa and Grandma’s McLaughlin home. He died July 23, at his home in Lincoln.

Tom grew up in Deshler, attending Peace Lutheran School and graduating

from Deshler High School in 1966.

Tom married Deb Turek in October, 1979, at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church in Lincoln. This marriage ended in divorce several years later.

Tom lived in Deshler for his first 18 years. He then moved to Fairbury, where he attended Fairbury Junior College for two years. He moved to Denver where he lived and worked for several years. He then moved back to

Deshler to help his dad at Modern Appliance. He worked there for several years with Jess Newman laying carpet and as an electrician’s helper. Tom decided to go back to school at Milford in 1973 to study electricity. Instead of finishing school at Milford, Tom decided to go back into the work force where he worked for Duncan Aviation for more than 40 years.

Tom started on the line at Duncan and worked his way up to being in charge of the fuel farm for both Duncan and the Lincoln Airport. After 25 years of service, Tom joined the Silver Wings Club at Duncan.

Tom enjoyed many activities during his lifetime. The Cornhuskers were

his favorite teams, whether it be football, volleyball, basketball, softball and baseball. He had season tickets for the Lady Huskers basketball team for several years. He was also a member of the Lincoln Sons of the Legion.

Some 20 years ago, he purchased the trailer rights at Lovewell Lake, in

Kansas from his cousins. The family spent many weekends at the lake making a lot of memories. Tom liked to mow the grass with his rider, whether it needed it or not, was in the process of remodeling the trailer and wanting more time there. In 2018, he retired from Duncan Aviation to spend more time at the lake.

He was preceded in death by his parents.

Tom is survived by his sister, Arlis Hohl, of Deshler. Virginia Crawford of Denver is his only living aunt.

His funeral was Saturday at Peace Lutheran Church in Deshler. Pastor Joe Love was the officiant. Burial was in the Deshler City Cemetery. Price Funeral Home of Hebron, was in charge of arrangements.
