Larry R. BAILEY 76, of Cleveland, Georgia passed away suddenly in an mowing accident during the afternoon of April 18, 2015. Known to us V8 people as a great early Ford guy. Larry has been the owner and president of Bailey Cabinet Company since the mid-1960s. As a local small-business owner, Larry made it his mission to give back to the community that had always supported him. He served as a founding member of the Volunteer Fire Department for the City of Sugar Hill for twenty years. Larry was also a member of the Gwinnett Water Authority for over ten years. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing him would agree that his kindness and generosity were absolutely unparalleled. In addition to his community involvement, Larry will certainly be remembered for his love of antique automobiles. He has been actively involved in car clubs for over fifty years, beginning first with his membership to the AACA. He was a member of the Antique Automobile Club of America, the Early Ford V8 Club of America, Classic Cars of America, and the Lincoln Club. He made 49 consecutive trips to Hershey, Pennsylvania to attend the annual national AACA show. Larry was well known to us Early Ford V8er's and real V8 guy with a great collection of award winnning Ford V8's and an ability to share his car knowledge and enthusiasm for all old cars. Larry is survived by his loving wife of 38 years, Doris Bailey, brother JW Bailey, daughter Rhonda Bailey, daughter and son-in-law Lisa and David Hill,. Funeral services were held on Tuesday, April 21 at 2:30 pm at First Baptist Church of Sugar Hill.
