ONA Anniversary - 1976

Davis - 1993
Capt. Tom Patterson (1923-2000)
Tom started flying with ONA in 1951 and flew
until the shut-down in 1963. He returned
to duty in 1965 after the ONA re-organization
and commanded the cockpit until 1978, the sad
end of operations.
In 1978 Tom began flying for McDonnell Douglas,
Long Beach, CA. He trained Mexican, Indonesian
and Nigerian pilots on the DC-10. When the age
60 rule hit he began simulator training and
taught for MD until 1992. And from 1992 until
2000 he taught Ground School for a couple of
Arizona flight schools.
Sadly in 2000, Tom was impacted by congestive
heart failure and in Nov. that year he heeded
his last command, to Fly West.
Tom married Lore Ullrich in 1965. Lore was an
ONA “stew” from 1960-1963 and they had a long
and happy marriage. Lore survives Tom and
resides in Arizona. He is also survived by
his 5 children, 6 grand-kids and 6 great
grand-kids.
Tom was a gadget guy and loved to build his
own computers, ride his Gold Wing motorcycle
and always loved to get the latest and
greatest electronic goodies. He set a great
example by the way he lived and the values
he embraced.
He is remembered fondly and often.
Bill & Lore Patterson,
(Tom´s son and Tom´s wife)
Lore lives in Arizona and Bill
lives in California.
