Bill Bailey won't you please come home,so sad to hear of your passing .You left an impression of a straight shooter who didn't tolerate fools,a staunch advocate of working out a fair and square deal with Employment Relation issues through the years as a Director with Kiwi Dairy Company(Whareroa Site) and your other interests I would gather.Loved catching up with you at the various functions over the years,you did enjoy my piano playing .Our Aroha to the Bailey Family....Rest in peace Bill.
