Grandpa, where do I start you are one of the most amazing men I've ever known. There wasn't anything you couldn't do. Words can not describe how much you will be missed by all of your family! You and grandma were a power couple you never saw one wthout the other. I have such great memories as a child and as an adult.I will never forget Lake George NY with you and having the honor of you being at my wedding and you and grandma being the last couple dancing on the dance floor for the longest married couple. The amazing stories you would tell us.You were such a kind soul every man should be like you. I will miss you so much. I feel blessed to have had you in my Life as long as I did. You gave anyone that knew you the best 98  years. I would give anything to have one last hug from you and to see one of your silly faces you would make one last time. Grandpa I LOVE YOU and we will watch over Grandma

Poppop Bailey: 

Rest easy with your loved ones on the other side, and know that the love and gratitude with which you left your survivors will yet survive in your absence . . .  and will ever remain in those characters and through those persons you helped lovingly mold with the tireless deeds done on their behalf and in the frank and fair words you so selflessly shared with all of us along the way. We love you; we always have and forever will return all that love you gave each of us . . . and with contended assurance count these days remaining, and as yet still separating us from our inevitably happy and inestimably proud and imminent reunion.

Maddy, We are so sad to know Ed is no longer at your side!  We know how close and devoted you were to each other!  You will miss him so much as will anyone who knew him!  What a wonderful, talented and special man he was!  We are praying for peace in your heart  for you all your family!  We love you and you will always be in our prayers and thoughts!  Joanie and Dick (Sam) Ouellette

My dear, sweet Uncle Ed...you will truly be missed.  Thank you for such fond memories.  Aunt Madeline, I am so sorry for your loss.  You have both given us such amazing, loving childhood memories, and we so thank you for that!  With much love and sympathy to all!

Uncle Ed was one of the most gentle, funny, and wonderful people on earth.  We have such fond memories from when we were children.  I have a film of him giving me a Christmas ornament from their tree when I was 4 years old. Every year I still put this ornament on my tree and smile at his generosity.  It is still very special to me, oh those HUGE beautiful Christmas Trees and fun visits!....   He and my mom put on CYO Variety Shows as good as any Broadway Show could be,  he was a great piano player and talented musician.  He is fondly remembered by us.  RIP Uncle Ed I am sure you are with the "gang" and singing and dancing again.  With Love, Janice Spozdzial

My dear Uncle Eddie,
How much I will miss you! We had so many great times at your house!!! I will always remember the CYO shows with Mommy at our church, and how much you and Madeline loved us. Love, Monica Spozdzial-Poulin

Sir, You were a great man and patriach of the family. I enjoyed hearing the great stories of the past and your life. You brought great joy to this family and you will be dearly missed. I know you are in a better place. I will always remember you GOD speed.

Rest in Peace, Uncle Ed.  I will always remember your smiling face- even though it has been some time since we last saw you.  You can now join the Bailey clan that went before you, and play only happy songs on that piano!  Our thoughts and prayers go out to Aunt Madeline and the entire extended family on your loss.

Carole Bailey (for myself, Charlie, Karen and their families)

Papa Bailey, you will be missed deeply. We shared some GREAT holiday activities with you, Gigi, and all the family that will forever be in our hearts and minds. Your sense of humor always kept us in stitches. We look forward to seeing you again soon, in Heaven, we love you so much!
