Thomas Clark, age 77 of Penn Hills, PA passed away on Wednesday May 7, 2025 after a battle with cancer surrounded by his family at home.

Beloved husband of 54 years to Rosalie Clark; loving father of Lisa (Jeff) Fitzgerald of Gibsonia and Marcia (Bob) Finke of Plum.  Proud Papa of Madison, Tyler, and Gavin.  Dear brother of Kay (Jack) Rimer of Seven Fields.

Tom was preceded in death by his parents, John and Catherine Clark, and his brother, Jay (fiancé Jane Foster of Oakmont) Clark.

Tom was drafted in the U.S. Army for 2 years and served in the Vietnam War from October 1967 to October 1968.  Tom worked as a journeyman plumber and retired from UPMC Presbyterian Hospital with 25 years of service.

Tom enjoyed golf, playing cards, sequence, bingo, collecting coins, gardening, and watching the Steelers, and was a longtime member of the Verona F.O.E. 1634.

He looked forward to family vacations and going out to dinner with family and friends.  He proudly watched and supported his grandchildren in their many activities.

Tom had many lifelong friends, and had such a giving and caring heart, and was always willing to help people.

The family wishes to thank the staff at Forbes Cancer Institute and AHN Hospice for their excellent care.
