Albert A. Bailey Jr. ’49

Body

Albert Bailey died April 22, 2012. He was 89.

Albert served as a staff sergeant in the Army during World War II. He then came to Princeton but left the University after six months. He lived in Tabb, and then in Yorktown, both in Virginia. Albert did not keep up with the class, and we have no information on his subsequent career and other activities.

His wife, Katherine Bailey, predeceased him. He was survived by his daughter, Melanie L. Bailey, and a granddaughter, Caitlin Costello. Our condolences go to them, as well as our regret that we did not get to know this man better.
