I'm so sorry to hear of Dr.Bayless's passing. He delivered my son back in 1976 when I lived in Riverside. He was a kind man.

Dr Bayless was a great friend to my dad, David Beckham, he helped him when times were tight. I remember when I was a kid and we used to go over to his house I would always ask my dad why he has so many pigeons. He will be missed.

Dr. Bayless was my childhood doctor and later a friend and family member. He was a gentle and caring man who was always willing to help if he could. We were deeply saddened to here of his passing, he was like a substitute Grandpa to my boys, they had known him as far back as they could remember and they were at a loss for words when told he had passed away. We love you Jim and you will be missed.

Dr Bayless was a wonderful man. He was our family doctor and friend. He took care of us even when we had no money to pay. I remember him mellowing like a kitten and tricking me when I was a girl. As a teenager he took care of me when I was very sick with strep throat and scarlet fever. He gave me a shot and I was feeling better the next day. He was a great friend to my Dad and Uncle's often finding them work when they were low on money. He will be greatly missed and greatly rewarded in heaven. Sincerely, Michelle Beckham Sherratt.

Dr Bayless was a sweet gentleman! He was my family's doctor for many years and delivered two of my nephews. When my sister needed Dr Bayless he spent the night with his head laying in her bed... not wanting to leave her. I worked for his answering service and it was common for him to call in just to check in using a voice box playfully trying to trick me into guessing it was him!!! He loved his mama and spoke so lovingly of her. He was an awesome character. Not many like Dr Bayless... never will be. Love and affection for the family... Lou E Bailey
