I certainly do not know, myself, but if anyone here knows him perhaps they can contact him via PM or email to find out if he is okay. It would be sad for any forum member (or anyone else, for that matter) to just drop out of touch due to lack of caring on the part of others.

If you send him a PM he should get an email saying that he has a PM.

I believe you only receive an email for a PM when you have that option checked in your profile settings. I know that I do not receive an email when I receive a PM.

I just checked my pm's and sad to say it is the Right Tom Baylor, I also had his address in Iowa. We first started to talk when the hockey pucks were first released in 2010. This is sad news , Rest in Peace Tom...................
That is Tom. He used to attend our Con A Rama shows in Nevada, Iowa. FWIW, he was a smoker which may have contributed to the death by natural causes. RIP Tom.
Maybe someone who has his address could drop a note to his family to offer condolences on behalf of the members of the Forum? His obit did not mention coin collecting (as I suspect most collectors' would not), so you have to wonder to what degree his family knew of his coin-related activities and connections.....
Can't say I had any one-on-one experience with him.
But there are some usernames here, that when you see they replied, you know the comment or contribution is going to be insightful and useful. I think he qualified.
Walker Proof Digital Album Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

We did a BST transaction about a year ago. Came across as an honest and decent person who was a pleasure to work with. Sad to hear. RIP Mr. Baylor. Condolences to your family.

Worth a shot tho.
Someone who has done a BST transaction with him probably has his email address
HIs name Tom Baylor ! sad to say I think this is him http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/thomas-baylor-obituary?pid=1000000187009585&view=guestbook
I don't know if that is him; as I say, I do not know him personally. But if that is his obituary, may he rest in peace. 61 is much too young.
Sad news..... Condolences to the family... RickO
I had fair dealings with Tom. If he left this coin world, I expect to see him and others in the next.

Very sorry to hear this. He was a mainstay.
Here's a warning parable for coin collectors...
Condolences to his family, certainly way to young for this to happen.
May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.
Terrible news - a respected member.
Last activity on PCGS 10/8, passed away 10/13, so active right up until near the end.
Very sad to hear this. He passed away too young. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.
I remember seeing Toms' "handle" on here. I didn't notice that He hadn't been on for a while, though.
It is indeed sad to see someone gone at such a young age. My prayers to the family.
Pete
Sad news. Too young.
Unfortunate to lose a coin collector.

I did not know Tom, but it is very sad to hear of someone passing at such a young age.
My condolences to his family and friends.
