Description
Photograph of Thomas B. Fansler, as a young boy, seated on a chair in studio.
Thomas was born in Mt. Jackson to Burtelle Whitmore (1917-1998) and Virginia Louise (Funkhouser) (1918-2009) Fansler. He had a brother, J. Randall, and a sister, Susie, Fansler.
He graduated from Stonewall Jackson High School in Quicksburg in 1963. He is pictured in the 1962 and 1963 yearbooks as having been one of the school’s bus drivers as well as a student. He later graduated from Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, with undergraduate and graduate degrees in chemical engineering.
While a student, he met and married Barbara Louise Rogge, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She was the daughter of Edward Sidonius (1923-1988) and Evelyn Elizabeth (Kling) (1926-2005) Rogge, Jr. They married just before Christmas in 1966 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, while both were students at Virginia Tech. They have three sons.
By 1970, Thomas worked for Dupont De Nemours Company in Camden, South Carolina. He had a long career in the design and construction of facilities worldwide working for DuPont and Allied Signal/Honeywell.
After, he and his wife moved to Moneta, Virginia, near Smith Mountain Lake, where Thomas entered the real estate sales business in the early 2000’s. He and his wife have been very active in their Moneta community as well.
