Thomas William Larimer, 71, of Weirton, WV, passed away on November 5, 2024.
Born on June 16, 1953, in Brookville, PA, Tom was the son of the late William Orvis and Isabelle M. Shoup Larimer. He grew up in Sligo, Pa and graduated from Union High School, in Rimersburg, PA.
A dedicated and accomplished I.T. Specialist, Tom spent 22 years with Weirton Steel, managing their I.T. Department before accepting the buyout. He continued his career with ACS Xerox in Robinson, PA, until health issues emerged following his heart surgery in 2014.
Tom’s family remembers him as “stubborn” yet deeply loving. His sister, Patti, fondly recalls their friendly golf rivalry, where he often found himself on the losing end. A passionate sports enthusiast, Tom could frequently be found enjoying sports on TV or at the bowling alley, where he was once a regular in the Steel Valley Bowling League. His early love of boxing, taught by his father and grandfather, gave way to ultimately a lifelong enjoyment of golfing.
Tom leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter with his family: his son, Shawn Larimer (Tara); his daughter, Tracy Larimer; his beloved grandson, Kamdyn Thomas Larimer; and his sister, Patti Ann Bloomfield (Mel).
In accordance with Tom’s wishes, there will be no public services. Memorial contributions may be made to the Hancock County Animal Shelter in his memory.
Cremation is under the direct care of the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home’s Crematory 3219 Main Street Weirton, WV.

I am sorry to hear this news. I played a lot of golf with him and my Dad.
My deepest sympathy to his family.
I had the privilege of working closely with Tom at Weirton Steel for more than a decade. His was frequently the quietest voice in the room … and I always valued his counsel.
Condolences to his family. R.I.P. my friend.
So sorry to hear about. We spent many days bowling golfing playing cards and just having a beer. He was a great guy again I’m sorry to hear he’s hine
Tom was a great friend while we worked together at the WSX GO. Actually a pretty good pool shooter and extremely good with crossword puzzles. He had a great smile and loved to laugh. I enjoyed being around him. Go rest high on that mountain brother Tom!
I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to the family. Tom and I were close friends going back to Weirton Steel, Acs and during those years and beyond we had some great times at the golf course, bowling alleys, softball, watching boxing at Bernies and social events. Tom was a good person and was always there for you. I will miss you my friend, may God Bless and R.I.P.
Condolences to Tom’s clan. I worked with Tom at ACS for over 15 years. He was both a well respected mentor and a good friend. Rest easy Tom.
