Mr Bailey & his family use to live right across the street from us the Gonzalez family. Sherry was my good childhood friend, we went to Franklin school together. Until they moved after elementary. I remember Roger & Phillip they were a little older. I haven't seen Sherry in over 45 years, I hope all the family is doing well. God bless you all. Your neighborhood child friend Irma Gonzalez

Roger, Philip, Sherry, my deepest condolences.
We grew up across the street from the Bailey family on Pine street, my sisters and I have fond memories of all of you. Playing, laughing, and having puppy love crush on Philp and Roger Lol. On a funny note I recall being inside our home watching TV with my father and Mr. Bailey from inside his home across the street would lay out a great loud Sneeze! I would always say "God Bless You". My father Jose Elias would just shake his head back and fourth looking at me like "Why" LOL:)
Rest in peace Mr. Bailey.
Everlasting At it, The Gonzalez Family

I remember Mr Bailey being a very nice man. We lived across the street and we were always at his home hanging out with the Bailey kids. The picture of him and Mrs Bailey is how I remember him. My condolences to the Bailey family from Gloria

Grew up across the street from The Bailey's on Pine Street. Mr. Bailey would take us to watch the Modesto Red's baseball games when we were kids. We also would pile up in his blue station wagon and go night fishing underneath the 9th street bridge. Good memories. RIP.

Bobby came from a family of 7 brothers and 3 sisters. He held my hand as a child and I had the privilege of holding his hand when he took his last breath to meet our lord and savior. As the last living sibling of this generation, I will miss you dearly. Love you Brother.
