“To the Family, Our sincere condolences in your time of need. John was a great man. I have many fond memories of him working at Bailey. His dedication to the steel industry was second to none. He pushed Bailey to be better, all in an effort to help the contractors. I personally owe him for many years of learning and for helping my Father and Grandfather build the business. RIP”
