Thaddeus joined the military in 1975. He later was employed by Allan Myers Company. Thaddeus worked various jobs, nothing was ever too much for him, you name it he did it. He was the true meaning of a handy man.

Thaddeus was a strong man who cared for everyone. He had a great love for his family and friends. He was blessed with the gift of helping. He enjoyed life to the fullest. Thaddeus was a jokester, a story teller (most of them were made up, but you couldn't tell him anything different. They where all true to him). He enjoyed listening to oldies but goodies, going to Car Shows and hanging out with his grandkids, family and friends.

Thaddeus was preceeded in death by his father, James Leo Proctor, nephews, David Dean, Michael Johnson, mother–in-law, Marie Munson and brother–in-law, Paul Munson.
