To the family of Daniel(Boonie) Bailey you were part of our.life for ten yrs we had a lot of good times together. You are the father of my grandson Robert my condolences to your family.

October 22, 2014

I went to high school with Boonie, or "cuz" as we called each other. Always a smile, a kind word or a joke whenever I saw him in school. I ran into him at University Hospital one day about 13 years ago and he looked exactly the same, gave me a great smile and said hi. I regret not stopping to catch up with him, but I was visiting my terminally ill mother and it was shortly before she passed. Knowing and being a friend of Boonie's was one of the highlights of my high school experience, with his help I changed from being a shy naive teenager from South Boston, to an outgoing and confident man with friends from all over the city, thank you for that my friend. God be with you cuz, and with your loved ones as well. Sully
