Our Beloved Dad, Belford (B.J.) Bailey passed away peacefully
on July 15th, 2023. He was 88 years old. Born in Graham,
Oklahoma November 20, 1934.

In his early years, he was a door-to-door Bible salesman, welder,
mechanic, fireman, policeman and concrete manager, just to
name a few. He took an early retirement as an electrician from
Salt River Project.

Dad also enjoyed many years of camping, hunting and fishing
with his family. He was a wonderful Husband for 68 years,
wonderful Dad and wonderful Granddad. He will be sorely
missed by all.

We have received many notes from family and friends of how he
made a positive impact in their lives; such a beautiful legacy.
He was preceded in death by his loving wife, Barbara Jane
Bailey; his Dad, Belford; Mother, Virgie; three brothers, Joe,
Aubrey, Leroy; and two sisters, Violet and Cleta.
