George Winthrop Bayley

I have such fond memories of George and the kids. I would have liked to meet Elizabeth.

He taught me piano lessons at St. Andrews Church in Hilton Village, Virginia. (I even majored in music in college!) I'm sad to hear this news as I really admired him. My condolences to Elizabeth, Debbie and the rest of the family.

George was my music teacher, chorus and madrigal director, and friend at Windsor Mountain School from 1957-1961 when I graduated. I also babysat occasionally for his two adorable daughters. He was a loving father, a caring friend, a committed musical director, and for me, he instilled an appreciation of serious music. He exposed us to Beethoven, and church masses and all sorts of music the average teenager doesn't hang around. He had a profound influence on us, and the love of serious music...

I will remember George not only for his musical acumen and love of Scotland, but for how kind he always was toward me, especially when my mother passed away early in our acquaintance. I will miss him. My heart goes out to Libby and the rest of the family.

His knowledge, skill, and his caring attitude were very obvious to those who knew and were taught by him. He will be greatly missed.

My heartfelt sympathys go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope the words in 1 Thessalonians 4 : 14 can bring you some comfort. Knowing that there is a future for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.
