Edward L. Bailey ’66

Ed died April 23, 2021.

Born in Boston, Ed graduated from Boston Latin School. He entered Princeton with our class and joined Cannon Club.

Ed left Princeton before graduation, and we were sorry to see him go. His cheerful demeanor and ready smile made him welcome everywhere on campus. Classmates recall his encyclopedic knowledge of, and enthusiasm for, trolleys. Five minutes with Ed meant at least two minutes of trolley information.

His daughter Ami reports that Ed never lost that enthusiasm. His love of trolleys and trains led him into a career in the transportation industry, planning and consulting on transportation issues, first in Boston, then in Chicago.

In addition to Ami, Ed is survived by son Don; grandchildren Nickolas, Zachery, Andre, and Janna; sister Margaret; and former wife Annette. The class extends its condolences to them.
