He was born on Jan. 7, 1947 in Dover, Del., the son of the late Hilda M. and Fred R. Bailey. "Jack" was a 1965 graduate of Dover Senior High School. He began his career for the United States Postal Service upon graduation. Beginning as a dock worker, his work ethic and dedication enabled him to become the Postmaster of the Millsboro, Camden-Wyoming, Milford, Rehoboth, and Dover Post Offices. He remained in Dover until his retirement in 2002. He was a successful businessman with a kind and caring heart. Jack loved life and was devoted to his tight-knit family and many friends.
