| Parker Pioneer, Parker, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, June 2, 2016 <<< Harry Lee (HL) Bailey, Jr, 59, passed away Sunday, March 13, 2016 at Sunrise Hospital, Las Vegas, Nev. Harry was originally from Surgoinsville, Tenn., having graduated from Surgoinsville High School in 1974. He married Ellen Charles 37.5 years ago in 1978. They moved to South Florida in 1988 and went to work for Florida Power and Light as a journeyman lineman. They moved to Yuma, Ariz. in 1995 to work for Arizona Public Service. Two years later, Harry went to Parker, for three months to build a new electrical line along the Colorado River. That was 18 years ago. He fell in love with Parker and made it his home. Harry was a proud member of the IBEW and always had a job after becoming a union man. Harry loved to play golf and riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He was a sponsor for the Parker Toy and Poker Run for 10 years. Harry never met a stranger and loved everyone. Family and friends always came first for Harry, no matter what. Harry was preceded in death by his parents Harry and Hilda Bailey; sister-in-law Carole Charles Parks; and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Harry is survived by his wife, Ellen Charles Bailey; his mother-in- law, Blevins Charles; sister-in-law, Susan Fields; brother-in-law, Bruce (Martha) Parks; nephews William Fields, Brent Parks and David (Samantha Mattern) Parks; great-niece Caroline Parks; aunt Betty Lewis; uncles Billy (Shirley) Rakestraw, Reece Rakestraw, Lyons Smith, several cousins and too many friends to name. Harry’s body was donated to science. A celebration of life will be Saturday, Nov. 19, 2016 at Don T. Pavilion, La Paz County Park. More details will be announced at a later date. Ellen would like to thank everyone for all of the prayers, cards and words of kindness she has received. |
