I had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Bail when I accompanied him on one of his trips to Zambia. His compassion, humbleness, depth of knowledge, humor, and gentle spirit will be how I will always remember him. So sad to hear of his passing. His presence was so quietly powerful and his impact so great on all who were fortunate enough to get to know him that I know he will always be within all of us, guiding us to be our best selves, his gentle laugh encouraging us and keeping our spirits up along the way.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Dick Bail. I admired him for his work in healthcare in Africa, and for his sincere interest in social justice. Mostly, he was just an all-around nice human being.

To Dr. Bail, his family, his staff: 32 years ago (1987), I presented to Dr. Bail's office at the then HCHP office, where within minutes I had become unconscious. He and his team worked fast to get me to Mt. Auburn Hospital where Dr. Marx Bowen diagnosed the ruptured AVM rendering me unconscious. It was the quick action of Dr. Bail, his staff and Dr. Bowen all of whom I have great gratitude that I am able to write this letter. You have been blessed to have such a kind and generous man in your lives.

Dick was a fine man. I had the privilege of speaking with him at his brother Fred's memorial recently. Fred was my classmate at Whitman-Hanson, and Dick a year ahead of us. Two wonderful gentlemen gone way too soon!
