BAILEY, Robert Griffith, Jr. 1940 – 2017 Robert "Bob" Bailey was born on November 9, 1940 in Berkeley, CA and passed peacefully at home in Tucson, AZ on July 18th. He graduated from UC Berkeley School of Architecture in 1967, working in San Francisco before moving to Tucson where he was a practicing architect for 38 years. Bob was passionate about his adobe home and garden, his fur children, historic preservation in the Armory Park Neighborhood, travel, and moments shared with family and friends. Bob is survived by his beloved spouse, Steve Grede; his stepdaughters, Jessie and Phoebe Bailey Lett; his sister, Marilee Bailey and spouse, Tamara Lett; brother, Floyd Bailey and sister, Sally Moorman and so many who he loved and will miss him dearly. They would like to express their deepest gratitude to those who gathered around in his final weeks to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support. A Celebration of Life will be held at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, September 2, 2017 at Sea of Glass Center for the Arts, 332 E. 7th St., Tucson, AZ.

I remember the days that we would spend with the Bailey Family and the Cochran family around the Bailey's pool on Vichy Ave in Napa, California.
Robert was great friends with my brother Harry Cochran (1940-1969). One of my best friends was Bob's sister Marilee. Oh how wonderful those days were.
God bless you Robert Bailey!

To the Bailey Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
