Thomas Clarence Glovier
Thomas Clarence Glovier, 60, of Center Township, finally at peace with himself and his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ passed away on Sunday, March 5, 2023 at Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center.
He was born in Aliquippa on March 4, 1963 the son of the late Clarence and Martha (Sutton) Glovier. He graduated from Kiski Prep in 1971, and earned a BA in economics, with a minor in Religious studies from the College of Wooster. He spent a semester in Israel, and also hiked through England. Thom worked as a sales representative for several different companies, ending his career at IBEX Global in North Fayette as a telemarketer and trainer when his health began failing.
He was a longtime member of The First United Methodist Church of Aliquippa where he served as a Certified Lay Servant, Finance Chairman and on several other committees. He was active with the Butler District Lay Ministry School, as a director, co-teacher and student, and occasional pulpit supply. He also served several years with Contact Beaver County.
Thom loved fishing, (having caught a citation-eligible steelhead trout), hunting, camping, going to garage sales, and adding to his collection of old toys, walking sticks, china tea cups, and glass paper weights. He also loved working in the garden with Kathy and creating beautiful flower beds around his yard, and sharing his perennial plants with many others. Thom loved to argue a point, and willingly played the Devil’s Advocate just to keep the discussion lively and flowing.
He is survived by his spouse, Kathy Anderson Lynch Glovier; a sister Kay Keller Pohaski of Markleyburg, PA; several nephews and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
Thanks to the 5 Main staff at Brighton Rehab and Wellness Center, and the folks from Gallagher Hospice who cared for him so kindly his last few weeks.
Arrangements are being handled by Huntsman Funeral Home and Cremation Services of Aliquippa, A memorial service will be held on Thursday, March 23, 2023 in the First United Methodist Church of Aliquippa Fellowship Hall at 2pm. Donations can be made to the First United Methodist Church of Aliquippa or to the Beaver County Humane Society (where he adopted his Beloved pet Sundance).

Just wanted to send condolences in your loss.
I met Tom while working at Reese Teleservices in Hopewell in 2006. I was there when the name was changed to Telespectrum and then IBEX and we moved to 200 Industry Drive. Tom was always a pleasure to speak with.
I happened to find a card our team at the time signed when my husband was ill.
I hope you and your family are well.
Blessings in Christ’s name

Hello,
My name is David, and I’m reaching out to inquire about arranging a memorial service for our late aunt
I am sorry to just be learning of the death of our beloved Beta Kappa Phi Fraternity brother Tom “Trog” Glovier. It is just in our Wooster magazine and I imagine a few of us will look this up.
Tom uttered many of history’s greatest lines, which can’t be repeated here. He was a truly great friend and will truly be missed by those of us who attended the College of Wooster with him.

Living on the other side of the world and not being on social media has its occasional drawbacks. Have only just learned of Tom/ Trog’s death. He was a dear friend for 4 years in Wooster and though decades have passed since then, I remember him fondly. I hope he lived life well and yes, he would happily play Devil’s advocate anytime.
