Thomas J. Corcoran, 66, of Pittsburgh, passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, July 7, 2021. Tom was born July 28, 1954, in Washington, to Regina and William Corcoran.

Tom is survived by his brother, John Corcoran of St. Petersburg, Fla.; and his nephew, Billy and family of Annville.

In addition to his parents, Tom was preceded in death by a sister, Regina C. Corcoran; brother William J. Corcoran; and a sister and brother, both of whom died in infancy.

Tom had a successful career in the IT field, first in coding and then sales, working his way up to managing multi-million dollar companies. Along the way, he always mentored his coworkers and employees to be the best that they could be to succeed in business.

Tom owned a bar/restaurant, Red Door, in downtown Pittsburgh, where he continued to connect people and encourage friendships. He always made sure that his customers enjoyed themselves and got to know each other without the distraction of television.

After retiring from IT, Tom worked for the Census Bureau for a number of years, retiring in 2020. Tom was always there for his many friends over the years. He was also an animal lover, especially rescues. Tom loved Pittsburgh and his “house on the hill.”
