Such is the way of the world...he became part of our family, he helped wherever he could, he was fun-loving and ornery, and we all loved him. P.G. no longer has to suffer, and for that we are thankful, but we will miss him. Our sincere condolences.

Barb, We have both experienced this type of loss and know that time will bring healing to the heart. P.G. has experienced his "Easter" and is now in the light of the Lord.

I will always remember P.G.'s humor and kindness. He was always very interesting to talk to and joke around with when I would be walking my bulldog around the condos. He was a great neighbor.

I am extremely saddened to hear of P.G's passing. Having worked with him at Continental for many years. He would always call me a narrow back. I learned alot from him about line work.
I had the highest respect for P.G.

We were very sorry to learn of P.G. passing in this morning's paper. Mr Bailey was a great guy! He and his wife raised a wonderful family. Cheri and I are unable to attend the services on Wednesday due to a commitment in Indianapolis.
Our condolences to all of the family.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered "come to me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
