I have such fond memories of knowing Allan from our many interactions at NSM (Selected) meetings, from the 80's forward. What a gracious, warm and funny man he was - utterly dedicated to our profession and among our brightest lights. Allan and that divine Colleen, whom I adored, together made such a terrific team and spread joy wherever they went. May God bless you, his family, as you mourn Allan's death while giving thanks for his remarkable life. Thanks be to God for the priceless gift of Allan Bailey

Ray, Crystal and family, please accept our condolences to you all. I have been away XC Skiing since Jan 2 and am just catching up on the Star papers, and am very shocked to see your dad's obit. I indeed remember him from past conventions and the like and always had a lot of respect for the 'old guard', as a new member of the Funeral Profession. Now I am one of the old guard. We all strive to provide the same service to the families we are chosen to serve, and from what I know, your dad was very successful at that. A great example for you all to emulate. All our best, and hope to see you on the ski trails sometime. Brad Lefebvre and all of us at Schuler-Lefebvre in Humboldt.

My husband Fred and I met Allan on a Uniworld River Cruise of the Rhine and Moselle/Amsterdam to Basel in August of 2014. We were traveling with friends Lucille Stock and Hugh Wyatt. By good fortune we four met Allan and Brian Reid from Northern Ireland. They were dining together the first evening and agreed to dine with us the remainder of the trip. We enjoyed wonderful conversations as well as Allan and Brian debating the merits of red versus white wines, which they sampled each dinner. This was the last trip for my Husband and I treasure these memories. Dolly Bunting, Port Charlotte Florida

To Ray, Burton and all the Bailey family please accept my sincere sympathies on Allan's passing. I knew Allen my whole career in funeral service. In the 70s he had offered me a job at the funeral home but circumstances prevented me from accepting. He always had time for a chat whenever our paths crossed. Our profession has lost a true representative of what we represent. Regards Don Sheppard..

Deepest Sympathy to Allanu2019s family. His kindness and generosity to those whom he met was passed on again and again. He and Art had a special bond sharing favourite books and Political stories. I can tell of his love for community first hand; because of his first financial donation and his enthusiasm for our start-up Musical Theatre Group, he encouraged a floundering group to be very successful. Allan was a role model on how to be community. The family has big shoes to fill. May he Rest In Peace. With respect, MaryAnn Scherr

Ray, Crystal, the Bailey family and staff at Baileys Funeral Home, My Dad was transferred to Calgary in 1974 and the first correspondence he received was a hand written letter from Allan with well wishes and a few words of wisdom and encouragement. I will never forget my first visit to Yorkton and the extra time Allan had for me to share stories of Colleen and family, the city, the funeral profession and Saskatchewan art - he went out of his way to make me feel comfortable and at ease - a gift he would share with me and his community over all his years. He was a very kind man and will be missed. Our sincere condolences. Joel Poissant and all from Imperial

To the Bailey family. I wish to offer you my deepest sympathy to you on the news of Allan's recent passing. Allan Bailey made a significant contribution to the City and citizens of Yorkton. To quote Maya Angelou 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.' I enjoyed each and every encounter I ever had with Allan.

Our family is saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Bailey. He lived a very exemplary life with his family, friends, business, and was a true pillar in our community. He led by example, was very generous, and set the bar high in achieving lifeu2019s expectations. This, all while being sincere, friendly, sympathetic, no matter what the occasion. Ever since he opened his branch in Ituna he has made a significant positive impact on our family, and we are forever grateful to have our lives touched by this warm, caring, compassionate individual. As a child I remember the happiness he brought while he delivered a Christmas turkey and gift basket to our home. Mr. Bailey was a mentor for us all in how to treat people with respect, dignity, and kindness. He earned respect from all those who knew him. The way he enjoyed life rubbed off on all of us and has touched us all. He will be missed. Eternal Memory. Joe & Kathy Kozakewich, Edmonton with Lorraine Kozakewich, Ituna.

Our sincere condolences to the Bailey family. I am profoundly moved by Mr. Baileyu2019s passing. For me, (Rick) Allan was at first a respected mentor, then a true comrade in arms. He became a friend and one who I cared deeply and dearly for. I miss those days and miss him now. I have thought of Allan often and affectionately over the years. Colleen offered a great kindness to me many years ago and have held her and Allan in my heart since we first met. Allanu2019s love for art was amazing and a true passion. I admired his collection. His service to his community and his profession was exceptional. Ray and Crystal, Bernadette and I offer our sincere condolences. Allan was truly a great man. So sorry for your loss, we miss him and cannot imagine how you must feel. Our sympathy to you and all the Bailey families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Love and prayers, Rick and Bernadette.
