Obituary of Michael L. Bailey

Suddenly on July 18, 2009 of Cedar Brook, NJ age 56yrs. Devoted father of Daniel Walton (Anji) of North East, MD, Meghan Bailey (Robert Jones) of Conowingo, MD, Matthew Bailey (Elice Gaskill) of Collings Lakes, NJ, and Michael Bailey (Melissa) of Erial, NJ. Dear brother of Darrell Bailey (Marie) of Vineland, NJ and Marvin "Cookie" Bailey (Theresa) of Belleair, FL. Proud grandfather of 5. Michael is also survived by his former wife and dear friend, Debra Thornton, as well as a Special Aunt and Uncle, Hazel and Paul Warren, numerous grand-dogs, nieces and nephews, and many other loved ones and friends. He will be sorely missed by all. Michael was an avid Nascar fan - even before Nascar was cool! He enjoyed all classic cars, and especially liked working on his 1970 Dodge Challenger. He also spent time re-enacting the Civil War. Most of all, Michael will be remembered as being a very thoughtful and generous man who always put his family first. Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing on Friday from 11:00am to 1:00pm at the LeRoy P. Wooster Funeral Home, 441 White Horse Pike, Atco, NJ (856)767-0539. Services will begin at 1:00pm. Interment will be private. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions in memory of Michael may be sent to The Stonewall Jackson Foundation, 8 E. Washington St., Lexington, VA 24450 ( www.stonewalljackson.org).
