TO the family of Albany "Chump" Bailey , I am sending our love and prayers to you. Chump was very dear to our family. He was a kind and humble person. He took pride in his work. He took care of my parents, Virgil and Betty Calhoun. Whatever they needed Chump was there. My heart ached when I heard of his passing.
I know he is not in pain anymore.
Rest in Love Chump.
Virgil, Chuck, Deborah and Angela Calhoun
