Joe Bailon Obituary

Joe Michael Bailon September 24, 1954 - October 7, 2017 San Diego With an uncanny ability to talk, and most especially listen, to everyone he met, and a calm, gentle spirit, Joe always seemed to know just the right thing to say to comfort, to inspire, to encourage. Wearing a Simpson's shirt, watching sports, playing with the grandkids, and videotaping all the family get-togethers, that's how we remember him. Now he's in a place where The Simpsons are on all day and the Chargers still play in San Diego. For us, remembering will have to do. Until we meet again dear friend.Joe leaves behind his wife of 39 too-brief years Colleen, children Joel (Anna), Tony (Kim), and Andrea (Terry), grandchildren Ryan and Kate, sisters Chris, Rose, and Leslie, and many nieces, nephews, and in-laws.Celebration of Life will be Saturday, Nov. 4, 2017, 11:00 am at Pacific Beach Christian Church, 1074 Loring Street, San Diego, CA 92109.
