Please refer to obituaries for information on visitations, funeral services and requests by the family or deceased for honoring their memory.
Age 63, of Bethel Park, passed away on Thursday, March 6, 2025. He lived a life full of family, friends, adventures, and sweet treats! Being the youngest of eight siblings wasn’t easy, but it created fond memories that Tom enjoyed sharing. In college, he worked hard on and off the track and made lifelong friends along the way (yes, he still would get together with his college buddies to go to Pitt football games and their children’s weddings.) Tom humbly started his career at Brentwood Bank shoveling snow on a cold January day and recently celebrated his 40th anniversary at the bank as CEO (a position he held for 24 years). He enjoyed being a community banker - he loved what he did and was proud to serve his community and fellow bankers. He met so many truly amazing people along the way. Tom was a kind and caring man who valued hard work and instilled a strong work ethic in his kids. He valued his faith, and the time he got to spend daily in prayer with his wife, Lill. Tom’s greatest joy though was spending time with his family. He took such good care of his family and loved creating new memories. Whether it was kayaking in Glacier Bay with his son, Thomas, seeing Polar Bears and Northern Lights with his daughter, Mary Jo, or his National Park Adventures with his wife, Lill, he was excited to go on a grand adventure with them. He was blessed to have so many memories with them! Tom celebrated life to the fullest and never missed an opportunity to enjoy a Bethel Bakery Pączki, a Page’s Dairy Mart Artic swirl, or Lill’s cherry squares. Say a prayer for him and enjoy a delicious goodie to honor his life! Tom was the son of the late Dr. William R. Bailey, Jr. and Dr. Mary Lynch Bailey and brother to the late Margaret (Richard) Herrle. In addition to his wife, Lill, daughter, Mary Jo and son, Thomas, Tom is survived by his brothers, Bill (Barbara) and Jim and his sisters, Mary, Patricia (Mike) Ward, Kathleen (Kevin) Varley, and Eleanor. Friends will be received at the John F. Slater Funeral Home, Inc., 412-881-4100, 4201 Brownsville Road, Brentwood 15227 on Sunday, March 9, 2025 from 1-8 p.m. Funeral prayer on Monday morning at 9:00.

In the years I spent working at Brentwood Bank , Tom was such an authentic and kind person. Prayers for Tom and his family , Heidi Peters March 10, 2025 I only saw him briefly, I work at bethel bakery. The few interactions I did have with him, stood out. He always was so nice! He will absolutely be missed. I am so sorry to his family March 10, 2025 I remember seeing Tom, Lil and the kids every Sunday growing up at St. Val's, and my family banked with Brentwood for years. Tom was a wonderful man and will be missed . Sending love and light to Lil and the kids at this time 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 March 10, 2025 Tom, you will be greatly missed. He was one of the kindest people I have ever had the privilege of knowing and working with. I will always remember our time talking "shop" but by far my favorite things to share with Tom was our love of the West and wildlife especially Yellowstone. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the Brentwood Bank family and especially with Lill, Mary Jo, and Thomas. March 10, 2025 Tom was a wonderful man that will be truly missed. I worked with Tom during the last 15 years and he was one of my favorite people in banking. God bless Tom and his family. Gregg Wagner March 10, 2025 My deepest condolences to the Bailey family at this difficult time. Tom was a valued and appreciated community banker. I was expecting to see him in Nashville this week and will think of him often throughout the week. Tom will be greatly missed by his many friends and peer bankers at ICBA. Kevin Goffe, Dean Bank, Franklin, MA March 10, 2025 My deepest sympathy to Tom's family. I worked at Brentwood Bank Admin for 10 years. I had daily contact with him & he was always a caring & fair person. Tom & I first crossed paths at St. Elizabeth Elementary School. May he rest in eternal peace. March 10, 2025 My deepest sympathies to all the Bailey's. There are so many memories - but I will share one. Our families grew up side by side and Tom was the closest to my age. We used to go to Brentwood pool everyday in the summer. J.M. As soon as the pool opened each year, we started "practicing" for the 4th of July swimming races. We asked the lifeguards how many times across the side it was to do a mile and one of them told us it was 88 back and forth's width-wise. So, we would swim back and forth 88 times every day. Every year and like the rest of his family, Tommy would clean up in the free style and the backstroke. He had so many trophies. So, even back then he was a dedicated and successful athlete. Unfortunately, I never collected one trophy. I was so jealous. We entrust Tom to the Good Lord in faith. I appreciate his friendship and all the memories. March 09, 2025 May Tom Rest In Peace In The Palm Of God's Hand. Deepest Sympathies to Lill and his family and friends. Tom was truly a class act and I happy to have fond memories of our discussions - not only regarding business, but of our faith and families. March 08, 2025 I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Bailey. I worked at Brentwood Bank for 4 years and he was always such a kind and thoughtful man. He made all of his employees feel special with a personal birthday and anniversary card he hand delivered making you feel valued and appreciated. I'm sharing in your families sadness and sending prayers. March 08, 2025 Tom was more than just the CEO, he was such a good man, who showed daily how much he cared about everyone that worked at Brentwood Bank, always saying happy birthday, sending anniversary cards, it was a privilege working with him for 3 years. I will miss our chats about fast cars Tom, sorry I got a Camaro ( I know you hated it) Prayers and hugs to the Bailey family!! March 08, 2025 My deepest sympathy to Tom's family at this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working for Tom for 12 years at the bank. He was always involved in the community and represented the bank along with many co-workers. I'm am glad I was able to know Tom and to meet his family. My prayers are with you all. Jodie Burke March 08, 2025 My Deepest Sympathy to the family. What a wonderful person and CEO of Brentwood bank. Jeanene Ferraro March 07, 2025 So sorry to hear of Mr Baileys passing. I don't know him personally but he's seemed like a very kind man. My son works at Brentwood Bank and Tom always had something positive to say remembering his birthday and even a hand written 3 year anniversary card. To me that says a lot about a persons character. May he rest in the arms of God! Prayers and hugs to his entire family, may God give you peace and strength during this difficult time. Claudette Holik March 07, 2025 From St Valentines grade school...to YMCA Indian Princesses to Bethel Park High School Swim Team to the BP Education Foundation, my life path has crossed and blessed by Tom and his family. Godspeed. March 07, 2025 I didn't know Tom very well, but knew of his devotion to his faith and his wife, Lillian, from his daily 7:00 mass attendance at St. Louise De Marillac. He was always very friendly and treated Lillian with great kindnesses, as he did other mass attendees. I am so very sorry to learn of his passing. My sympathy and prayers to Lillian and his whole family. 7:00 am mass attendee, Linda James March 07, 2025 Remembering Tom, the very caring and family man, from everyday at the office to all the Brentwood family gatherings over the 27 years with Brentwood Bank. He was a great leader and always present and will surely be missed. My deepest sympathy to his wonderful family. Char Dehn March 07, 2025 Cookie & family, sending our deepest sympathy to all. Our thoughts & prayers are with all of you. Cousins, Helen Jane & Mary Ann and families. 🙏💕 March 07, 2025 Tom, I'll always remember our first encounter walking into the admin building on my first day at Brentwood last spring when I entered the doors, and he thought I was a maintenance worker since I was unable to get to the main desk hahaha. Welcomed and introduced with open arms and was excited to have me join this wonderful organization. In addition, when visiting the branches several times hearing about all the local places he enjoyed getting lunch at with his friends & family. Condolences to you & your amazing family you have nurtured your entire life. Tom is someone special to look up to in living a wholesome and vibrant life. March 07, 2025 To the Bailey family. You have my very deepest sympathy. Mr. Bailey was more than the president/CEO of Brentwood. He was the kindest and compassionate man and it was a privilege to work with him for 6 years!
