Thomas Bailie

Sorry to have found out Tom had past on. I knew Tom & Linda from Skydiving in Richland 1972. I was just in High school in Pasco at that time. I have many good memories. I have always had the utmost respect of him as a very hard worker who would get stuff done. Peter A. Mootz

Used to work in the Basin City/Mesa area for 8 years (96-2003) cropdusting with my step father in our Bell 47 Helicopter. Tom used to stop by often to talk, coming or going to lunch and we would go have lunch with him sometimes. Once Charlie(My step-dad) took him up in the Bell and let him see his farm from the air. He loved it! I miss those times and people. Rest in peace Tom. End of an Era. God Speed on your journey Tom. Thanks for the stories and laughs. Farewell my friend.

I took always unfamiliar passes in my life which Tom showed me how to figure out way to go on. But I still could not understand he was doing a skydiving. That was different. Above all I had the privilege to know him and his family. Thanks.

We have lost a great champion. There's been no time in the last forty years that Tom Bailie hasn't been fighting for justice for Hanford downwinders. A man of unbridled energy and perseverance, he strived, always, to expose the truth. And such a nice guy, too. I am so sorry for his family and for all of us.
