Navy Veteran Thomas Mersich served from 1951 – 1955 as an Aviation Ordnance man. Later, he lived in New Jersey where he built airplane cockpits and flight simulators. Thomas’ varied career included a stint as a machinist and toolmaker, grounds keeping for a wealthy gentleman, and testing milk on a dairy farm. At one point he owned his own dairy farm.

Thomas moved to Virginia in 1972. He rented a room in Chantilly for $12 a week before purchasing his home in Manassas that he continues to live in today. His final career was with the U.S. Postal Service. An amateur painter, Thomas painted a mural inside the Sudley Road post office location in Manassas.
