Edward Bailey Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Ed graduated from Northeastern University Class of 1969 with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Following graduation, he worked in the paper industry at Scott Paper / Kimberly-Clark / Procter & Gamble for a long and productive career, followed by several years of consulting. In 1976 he married Linda (Kendro) Bailey, and they settled in Upper Providence, PA, followed by retirement and relocation to Holmes Beach, FL. They celebrated 48 years of marriage in October.
Ed was a loyal fan of the Philadelphia Eagles with a passion for sailing, classic cars, and relaxation on the beach. He was a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) and the Holmes Beach Moose Lodge.
He is survived by his wife Linda, daughter Alexis (Bailey) Cohen and her husband Dave Cohen of Philadelphia, sister Linda (Bailey) Neri and Dr. Michael Neri of Laguna Beach, CA, as well as numerous cherished nieces and nephews.
A small Celebration of Life will be held this spring in the Philadelphia area. Those who wish to remember Ed may make gifts in his memory to World Central Kitchen (www.WCK.org) or to help rebuild the Rod & Reel Pier on Anna Maria Island (https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-us-rebuild-rod-and-reel-pier-anna-maria-island), one of Ed and Linda's favorite local restaurants.
