Thomas S. Toutsi

Thomas (Tom) Toutsi departed us on Aug 11, 2025. He is survived by his Brothers Angelo and John, nieces Stephanie and Cristin, extended family and relatives. He served in US Army as a SP5(T) setting up crypto communications in France and Germany to include doing so with a significant tour in Vietnam. He graduated from West Virginia University in Industrial Engineering with interests in Operations Research and Product Quality Control and Assurance. He was a principal engineer on Apollo 11, “The Eagle has Landed” Mission in July 1969 while at Grumman. He was very family-oriented and left Grumman with a short stay in Pittsburgh to help take care of his father. This was so his younger Brother Marshall, already CPA auditor, was doing graduate studies in networking and finally retired from ICE in DC. He again selflessly moved to Vienna, Va. to stay close to his brothers where with each career move it was a major step forward. He retired after 30 years NASA/GDSC as a Flight Assurance Manager on the environmental UARS and TRMM satellites seeing to their launching in Hokkaido, Japan.

Brother Tom was a sports fan who followed his beloved WVU Mountaineers and Pittsburgh Sports Teams, especially the Steelers. To his credit he ran in 5k and 10k races and was an avid Skier skiing the Italian and French Alps to include major US Ski resorts. He was a Steward at St Katherine Greek Orthodox Church and member of American Legion Post 180. Tom was a very private person and generous person and to this day his donations towards charities remain anonymous.
