Uncle Bill will be greatly missed by me and the rest of his past family in Germany. I remember many good times, and lots of laughter. He will never be forgotten and I will for always remember that big smile he used to have. Uncle Bill, we love you Ulrike and Family.

To the Bailes family: How fondly I remember our days of fun and youth on Beech Crest Hill. We had so much fun and our days were so carefree...and to Ralf and family and Mrs Bailes and Evalena: I am so sorry for your loss and am praying for you..."The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. The Lord turn His face toward you and give you peace". Love, Virginia Smith Alexander

Uncle Bill has always had a special place in my heart. He was one of the sweetest men I knew growing up and whenever I saw him, he always had a hug to give. My heart and prayers go out to all of you for this loss. He will be missed. I am sorry I had to miss the funeral due to illness. The video memorial was beautiful and showed the man I knew, a very loving and caring man.

Ralf, Ricky, and Miss Renata, I was so sad to hear of the death of Mr. Bailes. I have a lot of great childhood memories with all of you. I will never forget going to the slab field, shooting turtles at long lake, or riding in the back of the truck going to your grandfather's. You were all great neighbors and great friends. You are in my prayers and I am very sorry for your loss.

If our world were to cave in tomorrow, we would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses. We have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not the loss of our loved ones, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough. I was blessed to have you and Bill in my life. You each taught me patience, happiness, true love and devotion. You have always been my inspiration and my rock. You have filled a huge void in my life and I will always be there for you...anytime of the day or night. Karen and Hers
