KIER, Thomas H. age 69, of Waynesville, passed away Thurs. Jan. 11, 2018 at his residence. Tom graduated from Waynesville High School in 1966, received a BS degree in Education from Ohio Univ. in 1970, and a Master’s degree in Education from Wright State Univ. in 1976. He retired from Carlisle Local Schools in 1994 after 24 years of working as a teacher, athletic director, and coach. An avid reader, Tom took every opportunity to learn something new. He loved to travel and took many trips with his brother Bill and great nephew Brandon, traveling to all of the MLB ballparks between 2006-2015. Tom was a quiet and somewhat private man who greatly enjoyed music, science, and baseball-especially the Cincinnati Reds. His music favorites include the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. He was very proud of his working relationships in Carlisle and would often return for a visit with the administration and staff. He also served as the Secretary/Treasurer of the SWBL between 1993-2003. He was preceded in death by his parents Raymond and Pauline Kier and his brother and sister-in-law Bill and Judy Kier.
