Andrew J. Bailey was an all around great person who touched everyone's life. He was a good son, brother, father and friend. To know him was to love him. His smile illuminated a room and his heart was felt by all. He was a very understanding person who knew how to listen when needed and provided laughter at all the right moments. In life I am not sure if he was aware of the amount of love everyone had for him, but one thing certain is that he affected all in a positive way. 


He was born and raised in England. He was the son to Aloma and Vincent Bailey, brother to his two sisters, Paula and Christine and father to his only daughter Veronica.  In his teenage youth he moved to New York and attended Midwood High School in Brooklyn.


In his adulthood he began to work for a company named, Marsh & McClennan (http://www.mmc.com/), which was located in Tower 1, 93rd Floor of the World Trade Center. To date we have copies of letters from his supervisors recommending him for advancement and letters from the company awarding/commending him on his professionalism. He was the type of person that even strangers took a liking to him.  


Unfortunately, on that fateful day of the 9/11 terrorist attack Andrew J. Bailey perished. Forever leaving our hearts broken.  He had called minutes before the building collapsed to ask for his daughter.  We will love him forever for his memory remains tattooed on our hearts. You always had this huge beautiful smile, infectious laughter and wonderful demeanor. Rest in peace my friend, even in death you are deeply loved and remembered. [September 11, 2001..never forget!]   He is buried in Green-Wood Cemetery [http://www.green-wood.com/] in a very peaceful location close to others lost on that day. His name is etched on the 9/11 memorial fountain http://www.911memorial.org/names-memorial-0. May this website not bring sorrow but solace to those that knew him. 

“The winds that sometimes take something we love, are the same that bring us something we learn to love. Therefore we should not cry about something that was taken from us, but, yes, love what we have been given. Because what is really ours is never gone forever.” ― Bob Marley
