Passing of Thomas Alan Bostic
OABA is saddened to report the passing of Tom Bostic, Central Ohio Farmers Co-op's former CEO. Tom led the co-op for over 30 years and oversaw much growth and success. Just a few of the strategic moves Tom spearheaded included the creation of our propane department, the expansion of our fuel business, the purchase of our Marion grain facility, and the merger of the Mt. Vernon location into the COFC agronomy operation. Tom retired in 2015.
Tom carried himself with humility and led with common sense and practicality always as the first considerations. Tom was also a leader in the industry as a member of the OABA Board of Directors. He was well liked and well respected by his peers from across the state.
