Tom was born on October 20, 1944, to Beulah (nee Beck) and Sylvester Poskie in Rhinelander, WI.  He graduated from Rhinelander High School in 1965 before attending Michigan Tech University and Iowa State University.  He worked in metallurgical engineering his entire career, spending years at Boeing, and later at Bettis Westinghouse Atomic Power Laboratory for 35+ years.

He called the Mt. Lebanon area of Pittsburgh home from 1972 until his retirement in 2010.  He then re-located to the Fort Mill, SC area.

He is survived by his five children, Julie (Edward) Lackman, Jennifer (Jason Luther) Townsend, Joseph (Kari) Poskie, Kathleen (William) Ashley, and Benjamin (Lauren) Poskie; brother James (Susan) Poskie; sisters MaryAnn (Duane) Frey, and Nancy Stefonik; grandchildren Kali, Samantha, Colton, Gabriel, Caleb, Rebekah, Lily, Vaughn, Pierce, Levi, Evander, Summer, Johanah, Savannah, Syler, Isaac, Natalie, Logan, and Isla; and great-grandchildren Alexia, Bentli, Maddix, and Korbin.
