William Baughman

Bill Baughman was the best supervisor (Deputy Commissioner) an employee could wish for. In many ways Mr. Baughman is responsible for me becoming a "professional employee" as opposed to someone ending up in a clerical arena. He let me exchange one year of training for one year of a professional status. He cared about all of his employees. He made up laugh with his corny magical tricks, he cared. I am sure his is on the Board of God. Has to be.

Jerri, I am deeply sorry to learn of Bill demise. You and your family have my deepest sympathy. Bill has always been a special person to me throughout my career with Corrections. Always there for me when I need help. I am one of his admirers. Be bless! Louvenia Coleman

Dear Jerri, Alana, Jim and family, I am so sad to hear about Bill, he was the nicest person and fun. Jerri,I know he was your soulmate and I am sending love to you for healing. Love, Trisha

Alana, I just wanted to say You and your family and in my thoughts and prayers at this time. If there is anything I can ever do please don't hesitate to ask my friend.

We will miss him dearly.

When I think of Bill, 800 Peachtree Street immediately comes to mind. Some Good Ole Days of Corrections were lived at that location. Times were much easier back then for government employees and we had some marvelous days in that old building as a staff of corrections employees with hearts and minds full of public service commitments. Bill was always so fashionable with his sweater knotted over his shoulders. The first time I saw him I thought he had just walked off a HOllywood Movie set....

Dear Jerrie & Family --

I was saddened to hear of Bill's passing. The last time I saw him was about a year ago at a retirement party for a mutual friend. He looked good and we cracked a few jokes.

What I'll remember most about Bill are two things. First, he had a terrific sense of humor. I don't ever recall an encounter with Bill over the course of the 15 years or so we worked together at DOC which didn't include our laughing about something or someone. He was...

Jerrie, my thoughts are with you at this sad time. All of your friends at Rosser are sorry for your loss.

Everyone that knew Bill had an awesome "Bill" story. I have so many things that I will always be in debt to him for: My first GDC Job, My introduction to SSCA and on and on. Jerrie you are and will stay in my heart and prayers. God's Love be with you during this time.
