Clarence Solomon Homi, age 87, passed peacefully at his home in Richland, WA, on July 11, 2025.  He was born on September 1, 1937, in Wallace, Idaho to Solomon Homi and Bernice Fors Homi.  Since he grew up in a Finnish community in Mullan, Idaho, his parents only spoke Finnish at home where he didn’t learn English until he started school in kindergarten.  He graduated as a Salutatorian (he shares this honor with his grandson, Ethan) from Mullan High School in 1955.  He went on to college at University of Idaho where he graduated with a BS in Chemistry in 1960.  He worked at the Hanford site as a Chemist until his retirement from Westinghouse Hanford Company in 1997.

Clarence is preceded in death by his parents, half-brother Toivo Homi, and son-in-law Stephen Scott Moss.  He is survived by his wife Patty Homi, children Leslie Moss, Clarence Todd (Kelly) Homi, Tonya (Jim) Bell, Shawn (Deeanna) Homi, grandchildren Scott Homi, Marshall Homi, Natasha (Dereck) Wing, Ethan Moss, Ariel Moss, Marissa Bell and Olivia Bell, great grandchildren Sky Wing and Raine Wing.

The family would like to thank the nursing staff with the Nuclear Worker Alliance for caring and loving him.  They were compassionate and kind to him.

A Celebration of Life will be scheduled at a later time.
