It is extremely mournful to receive the death news of a person that I have known for a year and I have seen him throw football or lacrosse balls with buddies in front of my dorm. The 18year old Gordie Bailey, Deerfield Academy class of ’04, was a wonderful person and magnificent athlete. His dead body was found in a fraternity across the street from the University of Colorado campus. He deserved a longer life but his destiny had it for him to pass away at an early age of 18. May his soul rest in peace!
