Richard Bailey

Richard (Rich) D. Bailey, 69, passed away peacefully on April 27th, 2011. He is survived by his wife Diane Bailey, 3 step children; Clay Coffman, Dale Coffman and Joan Coffman and 7 grandchildren; Justin Coffman, Taylor Coffman, Jessica Thompson, Miranda Coffman, Alexis Coffman, Jordan Zaloga and Colt Coffman. Rich was a strong willed person who battled Multiple Myeloma for nearly 3 years. Rich served 4½ years in the Navy and was assigned to foreign and sea service working submarine ordinance. Due to his love of the ocean his cremated remains will be buried at sea by the US Navy. The family will hold a celebration of life at a later date. “Mr. B” was also an avid chess set collector. One room in his home is dedicated to nearly 50 chess sets collected from around the world. In his later years, Rich became quite the wood turner. He was very proud as he designed and created his own chess sets from exotic woods. His dry sense of humor, wit and silly boyish grin will be greatly missed.
