Thomas Edward Samples passed away in his Florida home on Friday, January 22, 2021 – he was 65. If there is one characteristic that truly defined Tom, it is that he impacted and inspired the lives of everyone he met, and he leaves a legacy that spans generations and geographies.
Born in East Liverpool, Ohio to Clyde and Patricia Samples, Tom grew up as one of four children in Chester, West Virginia. He was an outstanding athlete and played football at the University of Tennessee before finishing his college education at West Liberty State College, where he earned a business degree. During his nearly 40 years of professional experience, Tom used his education, leadership skills, and robust personality to excel in roles of increasing responsibility at Weirton Steel Corporation, W.W. Grainger, Inc., Norandex Building Materials, and Mobil Mini.

From staff reports
STEUBENVILLE Steubenville Catholic Central High School announced it will offer Project Lead The Way’s high school engineering program.
PLTW is a nonprofit organization that provides a transformative learning experience for PreK-12 students and teachers, and Catholic Central joins more than 12,200 schools across the U.S. in offering PLTW programs to students. PLTW Engineering engages high school students in collaborative, real-life activities like working with a client to design a home, programming electronic devices or robotic arms, or exploring algae as a biofuel source.
As students work together to imagine and design solutions to local and global challenges, they test their limits and question what’s possible. And by pushing themselves to rework and refine their projects, PLTW Engineering students learn that both failure and perseverance are key to learning and innovation, according to information provided by Catholic Central officials.
