Dear Clarence Bailey SR's Family,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of Clarence your Husband, father, grand father and to all other relatives. He was a friend and fellow associate at work. I respected him greatly! He mentored me and brought so much class to wherever he went!
I worked with Clarence at Republic Steel / LTV Steel's burying Pits for nearly ten years. I wanted to let his family know that it was a privilege to have worked with him. We shared meals and many of hours together at work. Talking for hours while doing our jobs. Clarence was way ahead of his time and taught me so much. He was nearly 30 years my senior but much smarter than I. One of the most important things he taught me was a good work ethic. He was so very proud of his family. There aren't enough words to describe. He bragged a lot about family, his children and was so proud! I have and will continue to miss him and wanted to tell all of his family. How good he treated me! Please be strong and love life as he did. Love the Lord as he did!! Therefore everything will be fine. I believe he will be in Heaven waiting on you. And if I'm lucky enough I will meet him again too!
God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones in they're time of need!!
