I worked for Capt. Bailey at the training academy. He was quite the jokester, going so far as to load up his own cigaretts and blame it on Lt. Goldsberry. He was a very good leader and a great man.

Socrates said that a life without virtue was an unhappy life. Based on my contact with Capt Bailey, he was deservedly happy. Our thoughts are with the family.

I am deeply sadden by the death of Captain Bailey. I knew him for many years. He was a very nice and jolly person. I worked at police headquarters and looked forward to him coming on 3rd shift for 3 months . I also knew him when I went thru the academy to become an auxilary police officer. He was the one who encouraged me to become an auxilary. He will be sadly missed.

Captain Bailey was at the Police Academy when the first class of Women to begin Patrol Duty started on Oct. 20, l975. Captain Bailey was fair, impartial, and a great man to work for. He will be truly missed. They don't make them like him anymore. May God bless him as he makes his way to Heaven.

I served as a patrolman on the 2-wheel motorcycle squad and Carl was my Sergeant. He is remembered as one of the best supervisors that I served under during my 28 years of service. He always had a great sense of humor and the morale among his squad was always very high. He will be sorely missed.

Carl was a good friend to my Mom & Dad for many years. I took a liking to him because, in many ways, he somewhat reminded me of my Dad. In recent times, he became a special friend to my mother, husband and myself. He was sometimes stubborn, persistant & set in his ways, but we would just laugh with him about that. We will miss his company, laughing and joking with him & our phone conversations. He made us happy, as I think we did the same to him. He was always full of surprises & very thoughtful, in his own little way & we were the same to him. He touched our hearts, as we did his. Fortunately, for us, we were able to make our final goodbyes to him in his last week of life & we know that he is in a better place-free of pain & suffering. Carl had too much pride to go on the way things were & we realized that. We will greatly miss him and we will always keep him in our thoughts & prayers.

Sadly missed by his friends:

Diane & Doug Hopkins & Laurine McCracken (known to Carl as the Cook & her daughter & son-in-law)
