To all the ‘Bailey’ family, I am so very sorry to learn of David’s passing. Haven’t seen him very much and I regret that. The (Bethany bunch) had tons of fun back in the day. Memories I cherish. Praying the angels cover you with their wings of comfort. God bless,

I am so sorry for David’s passing, offering up much prayers and love to
the family. He happened to be the
guy that was my very first date and the cousin of one of my best friends,
Jeanette Chessier some 59-60 years ago. My mom knew that he was from a good family so she knew I would be safe. Again much prayers!

My deepest prayers and sympathies go out to the Bailey family. I'm very sad to hear of David's passing. One of my great memories of David was his connection to Randy, Alan, Terry, and me when we were all much younger boys than himself. God bless David and the Bailey family.
