Condolences to Hank's family. Got to know him in The Villages. He was a fine man. I shared his passion for FSU football. 76 y/o is too young. I will miss him.

The FBHS Class of 1966 sends condolences to the family of Hank Bailey. He and his friend Jimmy Corbet would often join some of us on our Saturday night rides "circling the beach." He always had a smile and was up to any mischief we were interested in getting into! He will bexgreatly missed.

So sorry to hear of Hanks passing. I have known Hank since 1966 when we attended Chipola Junior college together. Was a small group of us who all went to Tallahassee after Chipola and spent a lot of time together. Hank was always fun and a little bit sarcastic, which was part of his charm,. We stayed in touch over the years and I just spoke to him just a couple of months ago. I know you will miss him and so will I.

Very sorry to hear about Hank passing away. Hank was such a nice classmate and friend. My deepest condolences to his family.

Susie Smith & Jim Kennedy

Condolences and many prayers for Hank Junior and Noha and Hank‘s grandchildren. He will truly be missed. Hank was always my buddy in planning. Various shows where we could listen to our wonderful music. I know now he is at peace, at the big meeting in the sky with my love John P Smith. I’m sure they had a glorious reuniting. As we know time takes time… But I truly mourn his loss in my life. Sending love to Hank Junior, Noha Hannah and Nolan. He loved you all very much. I loved hearing all of his stories. So proud of each of you..Sending our Love, condolences and sympathy
