Thomas Arthur Duncan, 81, of Hopewell Township, passed away on March 6th, 2025 after a long illness. He was born in Monaca on September 3rd, 1943, the son of the late Samuel Edwin Duncan and Ruth Ida (Miller). In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his six Duncan siblings: Donald, Marianne (Earl) Swogger, Eleanor (John) Spagnoli, Walter (Jan), Esther Taylor and James; sister-in-law, Susan Pearson and brother-in-law, Bill Glover. He is survived by his wife Judy, his daughters Lori Sorvillo of Middletown, Connecticut, Debra Calhoon of Raccoon Township, Lisa (Terence) Flanagan of Mount Kisco, New York, four grandchildren: Thomas Calhoon, Amanda (Peter) Moore, Tyler (Sabrina) Calhoon and Terence Flanagan; two great-grandchildren, Joseph Calhoon and Caleb Moore, sister-in-law, Georgene Duncan, brother-in-law, William B. Taylor, along with numerous nieces and nephews. Thomas was a 1961 graduate of Monaca High School where he loved playing football. He was a dedicated husband, father and grandfather. He met Judith Glover at Eat’n Park in Aliquippa when it was still a carhop. They married on May 7th, 1966 and shared a lasting love for nearly 59 years. He was a girl dad through and through raising three daughters who adored and looked up to him. He was a role model not only for them but also for their close friends – his “bonus kids”. He was a teacher at heart and enjoyed reading all the historic markers along family road trips sometimes eliciting groans from his young girls. He was proud of his grandkids and loved to make them laugh. He was a storyteller, a Pittsburgh sports fanatic, a fisherman, and a lover of sweets. Thomas was a steel worker for J&L/LTV for nearly 20 years before beginning a career at Glade Run in Zelienople as a Child Care Specialist, where he loved being a mentor. In addition, he and Judy parented over 19 foster girls. He was a man of strong faith, devoting much of his life to serving the New Life Presbyterian Church (Aliquippa) in various roles: youth group leader, teacher, elder, custodian and tenor in the choir. Through life’s ups and downs, there was always laughter and a sense of peace and calm that was rooted in his Christian faith.
