Gregory L. Thomas, 65, of Quakertown, passed away on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia.
Born on August 27, 1959, in Quakertown, he was a son of the late Edward R. and Sarah (Schlichter) Thomas.
A graduate of Quakertown High School’s Class of 1977, Greg went on to attend—and successfully complete—the police academy. For the following ten years, he served as a police officer in various communities: West Rockhill Police Department, Quakertown Police Department, and Bucks County Sheriff’s Office.
After exiting law enforcement, he took on various roles over the years. He served in the Trumbauersville Maintenance Department, and presently co-owned and operated Vera Cruz Travern with his wife.
Outside of work, Greg took pleasure in watching sports (especially the Philadelphia Eagles) and tending to his yard. In his younger years, he played in table pool and once participated in a tournament in Las Vegas.
He was a member of the Quakertown Legion, Perkasie OWLs, and the Sellersville VFW.
Known for his large and loving heart, it wasn’t uncommon for Greg to extend a hand to anyone struggling. His kind nature also played a role in his treatments for lung cancer, as he would often joke with nursing staff to keep the atmosphere light.
Greg will be lovingly remembered by his wife of thirty-four years: Kathy Nase-Thomas; son: Ryan Thomas and his wife Jessica; his grandson: Ryan Thomas, Jr.; brothers: Robert Thomas and his wife Sue, Richard Thomas and his wife Bonnie, and Edward Thomas and his wife Barbara; as well as nieces and nephews.
A visitation will be held at the C.R. Strunk Funeral Home, Inc., 821 West Broad Street, Quakertown, on Thursday, June 12, 2025, from 10:00am until the time of the memorial service—in the funeral home—at 11:00am.
