Mr. Bayless was amazing. I absolutely loved him and Ms. White while I was at Gibbs High School. The Class of 1989 coming into our first year was great and we had no idea chorus classes would be so fun. Each year I came back to Florida I would make it a point to always stop in at Gibbs to see him. Mr. Bayless made such an impact on his students and I appreciate everything he taught me. Rest in Peace Mr. Bayless and I know you're singing in the Heavenly Choir.

I knew Steve and his parents as he was growing up and he was in one of my classes when he was a teenager. He was a fine person and had a great singing voice. His father Ralph had a great influence in my life and sang when Lois and I were married. Steve had a great reputation as a fine person and a great teacher. I know he will be greatly missed.
