Rick has been on my mind so much lately. He was very loved. I am glad he found so much love and happiness after we parted ways. See you in heaven, Rick.

I ran across this article on Rick by accident. I remember listening to him and Donna in the band, Waterloo Sunset back in the 60's, he was an accomplished musician back then. Good friends with Rodney, his younger brother. Rick inspired me to full fill my life with the guitar and music. I lost track of the Bailey family over the years, and I'm sure they are missing Rick. Best wishes to the family, and I'm glad I knew Rick and the Bailey family. R.I.P.

I am so sorry for the loss. He was very special to me in my childhood and was the father of my sweet son Rickey Wayne Bailey Jr. He loved the Lord and I know we shall see him again!
