Not sure what to say?

He was the best I worked for him for years he was so humble and humane . A wonderful person always to be remembered. I miss him .

It was only years later that I learned about Baird's passing. Used to look forward to receiving his party invitations--both for the design and for the chance to talk with Baird and others at some fun New York clubs.

Thanks for all the great times in the city with your free passes

BAIRD WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND A REAL CHARACTER. I WILL ALWAYS MISS HIM.

From the first time I met Baird in the early 90's he made me feel like family.
He obviously felt the same way as he
always delighted in barbing me whenever our paths crossed, which was almost weekly throughout the years. I always looked forward to seeing him at events as a divine sign
that the world truly was not changing. Baird, like me, was a serious person who liked to have fun. His kindness on a personal level
will never be forgotten and I hope the destination chosen for him...

My condolences to the family of Baird Jones. He was a truly unforgettable character and I always enjoyed our conversations. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

My condolences to Baird Jones loved ones and entourage. It was a shock to read of his passing. Baird was a great spirit, and I always enjoyed his parties. We hadn't crossed paths recently as my club kid days have long been over, but I think I still have stacks of "passes" he mailed me for Studio 54 and the Underground somewhere at my parent's house. Baird Jones passing snuffs out the last burning embers of a certain era in NYC nightlife I will always fondly remember.
