Thomas B. Kusick, 67, died on November 12, 2022, surrounded by family at his Karns City home.
He was born December 27, 1954, in Butler to Joseph T. Kusick and Jean Claudette Lumley.
On May 7, 1977, Tom married his wife, Lee Ann McElroy. Tom was a devoted husband and father, who loved his family and all things sports, including hunting and fishing. He enjoyed watching his boys and extended family play sports through the years. Tom loved hunting and going on fishing trips to Rufus Lake (Canada) and the Allegheny National Forest, along with snow skiing trips to New York, Colorado and British Columbia. He also greatly enjoyed gardening, cutting firewood, and manicuring his lawn. But above all else, Tom enjoyed spending time with his family and friends.
He volunteered in many ways in the community, including coaching numerous youth sports teams and performing activities within the church, such as doing dishes, cement work and parish council. Tom was a Methodist and then a Catholic.
Tom will be remembered for his storytelling, helpfulness, and his ability to connect with people. And his sons are forever grateful for the example he set as a father.
Tom was a 1972 graduate of Karns City High School and earned an associate's degree from Williamsport Technical School. Upon graduation, he worked for General Electric in Erie, PA, Witco and then as Fairview Township supervisor. Tom worked at Indspec Chemical Corporation (Oxy, formerly Koppers) as a maintenance foreman for over twenty-five years.
Tom is survived by his wife, Lee Ann; his two sons, Rob (Andrea) Kusick and Jim (Heather) Kusick; his grandchildren, Sydney, Cameron, Clara and Henry Kusick; his siblings: brother, Bill (Elaine) Kusick, and half sister, but full in his heart, Michelle (Tim) McFadden; his stepfather, Bob Lumley; as well as a niece, Karissa (Rian) Kusick Dominick; and nephews, Joe (Lili) Kusick, Tyler McFadden and Mark Hemphill; his sisters-in-laws, Sharon (Joe) McElravy and Nancy (Roger) Whited; brother-in-law, David (Terri) McElroy and nieces/nephews, Kelley (Bob) Downs, Erin (Jeff) Miller, and Mark McElravy; Adam and Brody Whited; and Ian and Ethan McElroy.
