Thomas Michael Poulos, 68, a longtime resident of Beaver, passed away on October 16, 2024 at his residence. He was born in Pittsburgh, a son of the late Nicholas and Dorothy Poulos. He is survived by his cherished daughter Nicole and her husband Doug, who brought joy and pride to his life, especially through his grandsons, Douglas Sutter III and Garrett Sutter. He is also survived by his siblings: James (Janet) Poulos, Steve (Michelle) Poulos, Kathy Poulos, Teresa (Rich) Roy, and Carolyn Poulos, his nieces, nephews, and his three feline companions, Molly, Andy, and Buddy, who were the recipients of his affection and playful spirit.

Thomas’ formative years were spent in Beaver, where he graduated from Beaver Area High School. He devoted many years as a manager of several area restaurants. His leadership and work ethic were matched only by his ability to connect with people. 

In his later years, he had many friends from the Corner Grill in New Brighton, who became family.  He was an ardent supporter of Pittsburgh sports, who had a special place in his heart for the Pittsburgh Pirates. His loyalty to his teams was steadfast. Tom’s love for politics was matched by none. He thoroughly enjoyed and respected a good argument from anyone willing to debate him. Tom was a man who lived by his own set of rules, never afraid to break the mold. His authenticity and courage to be true to himself endeared him to many and served as an inspiration for those who aspire to live life on their own terms.

A blessing service will be held on Wednesday, Oct 23rd at 3 p.m. at SIMPSON FUNERAL & CREMATION SERVICES, 1119 Washington Avenue, Monaca.  

Visitation will follow until 7 p.m. at the funeral home.
