All of Cedar Knoll is sadden.  Jimmy was the perfect neighbor.  He was always friendly, helpful and fun to be with.  Jimmy just knew what needed to be done and did it with a smile never even being asked.  He built a fine bench for the neighborhood and plowed the snow .  What a tragic loss.  His spirit will remain throughout Cedar Knoll.

I will miss you all today cousins but work schedule has me unable to attend funeral. It was sad to hear of Jim's passing and unfortunate that this is how we gather now. My last memory of Jim was at our family reunion where he made that fantastic crab soup. Take care of each other;can't imagine him wanting it any other way.

Jim was cool as could be. My memories go back to JR High.  Such a good kid and I am sure a good father and husband. Peace be with you.

I am still in disbelief at Jimmy's passing.  My heart aches for Isabel and my cousins.  I will continue to pray for God to give you strength to get through this difficult time.  Love to all of you

My sincere condolences and prayers for your loss of Jim. I am a classmate of his from Catonsville High School '81.

I will always remember Jim and his HUGE smile throughout high school. 

I hadn't kept in touch with him since, though his passing touches my heart with sorrow.

Rest in peace, Jimbo

I have no words.  I just absolutely adored Jimmy and I am heart broken.  Isabelle, I am so sorry for your loss.  What an incredible man he was. I can't imagine your pain right now.

My deepest Sympathy to Isabelle and her Family. He will always be your Rock and watch over you. Lean on your wonderful Memories , to get you thru this sorrowful Time

I want to let you know how deeply sorry I am to learn of Jim"s passing.  He was such a good, honest, hard working, loving man. And boy could he belt out "Desperado like nobody's business.  Who knew he had such a great voice to add to his other wonderful qualities.  Isabelle, I want you know that I am here for you if you need anything. Please do not hesitate to call on me.  I regret I will not be in town for the funeral but know that love and support you always.
           with love,
                   Ellen.

Jim,You have been taken from us way to early and I will miss very much. You have been a very special friend for many years to me and later to Gretchen as well. I was unhappy when you met Izzy because I thought I lost a friend,but I was wrong I gained a new friend in your wife. Love ya man.

To our loving nephew, who we will miss very much. Wished we had spent more time together with you and the family to enjoy all the laughter and good times in this short time. We all seem to get caught up in our every day things, that when we come to times like this, we wished we did things different. As we all know, we only go around this world one time. It would be wonderful to be able to turn back the time to change what we know and feel sad about now.  You have made us open our eyes to see that time is short and we have to take the time to at least pick up the phone to say, "We are thinking of you". Jimmy, you will always be in our thought and prayers. Rest in Peace.  What a great nephew. Love Aunt Roe and Uncle Harry.

Our deepest sympathy to Isabelle and the family of Jim Bailey.  Our hearts are so sad that Jim had to leave so soon.   We are all better people for knowing him and experiencing his humor and kindness.  We are grateful for that time.  May God hold all of you extra close during this very difficult time.  -Roaring Point Waterfront Campground Staff and The Pepper Family

Sending love and prayers to the entire Bailey family--so very sorry for this sad loss.

I will miss him so much as will everyone on Cedar Knoll and Oak Knoll Roads!! Our little neighborhood will be forever changed. Rest in peace good friend.

May God give you and your family peace at this most difficult time. The love that you have for your husband, brother, uncle and friend will live on in your fondest memories of James. Hold on to each other and embrace the support of family and friends.

Michele & William

To Marian and family,

Our insincere sympathy for you and your families loss. We are saying prayers for you.
Greg and Maggie

May the loving concern of friends and the drawing close to God be a comfort to the Bailey family.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

May each of you find strength and peace in God. (Psalms 29:11) Especially during this time of loss.

Jim's love for Izzy and his family was the first thing that we admired, when we were their neighbors at the campground. Oh, the stories he could tell! His sweet nature and good company will be greatly missed. Bless Jim's Family and  friends during this time...
