Thomas D. Gatchie, age 59, of Clairton, formerly of McKeesport, died June 28, 2016 at his home. Born June 30, 1956, in McKeesport, he was the son of the late John and Catherine (Coulter) Gatchie and the husband of the late Gina L. Gatchie.
Tom was a hard-working man, who worked at S&S Transit for many years as a driver and dispatcher. He was a wonderful, gentle person who found sobriety late in life, overcoming the impossible and lived proudly to tell the tale. Tom was giving and selfless and would take the shirt off his back for a stranger. He made you feel like you mattered and would extend his hand to anyone in need.
