Dear Mrs.Bailey,
My family and I are deeply saddened for your loss. Mr.Bailey was the nicest man I have ever met and I am so glad to have known him. You and Mr.Bailey have been so kind and generous to my family over the years. As we watch the old ITV movies we think of Michael's Magic Shop and all of the great stories we have heard about that time. He will be deeply missed. Thank you so much for your kindness.

Virginia:
As an alumni of the Parma ITV program (1975) I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Having spent my life working in the Broadcast/Communications field, I often think of my student days and how it all started back at Normandy High School. I will always remember how Jim was there to listen to our problems, lend some advise and help guide us along. He would take the time in his very busy day and he cared. I know that many of my fellow alumni would agree, that we might not be...

We are greatly saddened by the loss of Jim and extend our heartfelt sympathy to his wonderful wife, Virginia, and his great family. Jim was one-of-a-kind; a truly unique and talented person. He never seemed to cease looking at people in positive ways and was constantly exhibiting loving-kindness and spreading joy and happiness to others. He always made people feel special and gave his full attention and support freely to family, friends, co-workers, students and people in need. He was an...

As a former ITV student at Normandy, Mr. Bailey was an important part of my high school years. I learned a great deal from Mr. Bailey and I will always remember him as a kind man who had a lot of patience for us students. It was a privilege to have known him. I am very sorry for your loss.

Dear Virginia and family, please accept our condolences at your loss. We were shocked and saddened at the news of Jim's death.

We pray the healing peace of God will comfort you and your family.

Jim played an incredibly important role in my life and career. He created Parma ITV and the TV Workshop and took a gamble to bring me to Parma. I'll always owe him a lot and will never forget that.

With deepest respects ...

Dear Mrs. Bailey & Family,

I worked with Jim at TransUnion in the Verifications Department for about 1 year. I believe I was his sponsor on his first day, which means I gave him the tour of the building, introduced him to other departments & then took him to lunch. He was a very pleasant gentleman, always had a smile on his face. He was a definite plus in our department. My deepest sympathy to all of you.

To the family of Jim Bailey,
I had the pleasure of working with Jim for a short time at TransUnion. I have never met a man as sweet and pleasant as him. He always greeted me with a smile and always made me feel so special. Im sure in his years on earth he has touched many lives. He did mine. The heavens have gained another angel. God Bless all of you, may the grief be short and the loving memories last a life time.

Dear Mrs. Bailey,

Please allow me to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family in this time of terrible loss. Mr. Baily, by way of his ITV program, has been the most important influence during my lifetime. I am now 46 years old and still gainfully employed in the field of Radio. Mr. Baily is responsible for everything I have and for everything on which I've built my successes. Thank you for sharing him with us. He was a wonderful, wonderful role-model. God Bless you...

Dear Virginia and the Bailey family,

I am a 1978 Graduate of the Normandy TV Workshop. I had a 25 year career in Broadcast television and owe a great deal of my success to the lessons I learned early on. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers,
