Friday, December 4th. We mourn his loss, but take great joy in knowing that he drew his
strength from God always, and was welcomed home into the arms of his Heavenly Father.
He was the devoted husband of the late Marion L. Bailey (nee Fries); loving father of John
F. Bailey, Jr., Carol Anne Celozzi and her husband Dominic, and the late Stephen M. Bailey
and Thomas C. Bailey; proud grandfather of Kaitlyn, Lorianne, Rachel, Kristina and husband
Josh, Andrew, Anthony, John-Paolo and Rosa; and dear brother of Mary Edith Hines and the
late Katherine Swearingen. He is also survived by numerous nephews, nieces, cousins, and
other loving family and friends.
He worked in personnel for Baltimore County Public Schools for over 20 years and is also
remembered as a committed teacher and coach; wonderful neighbor; prayer warrior; and faithful
member of St. Joseph’s Fullerton Church.
For those of you who would like to join us in celebrating his life, we invite you to join us for a
viewing at Schimunek Funeral Home and funeral mass at St. Joseph’s Fullerton Church. Please use the following link to view the Funeral Mass virtually, for anyone that is not able to attend:

In lieu of flowers, please consider giving to the Muscular Dystrophy Association here. John
continued to be an active supporter and member of the MDA family until his passing. As a
loving dad and champion of others with Muscular Dystrophy, he would love for others to be
served in this way.
Thank you, love you, and see you soon.
