I don't know if this is the right place to post this but Founder of Baileys Woodsman Supply Bill Bailey past away from an illness in the hospital. 

I received a message from Sam his son, and I know a lot of guys in this business have done business with them for many years. He was definitely and innovator in his field.

They are some awesome people, and I know their father will be missed greatly..  :'(

Hope Sam doesn't mind that I posted this.

That's sad. My heart goes out to the family.  This will affect a lot of people.  He was quite successful and the business world will miss him.

The family is in our prayers.  Many fond memories over the years reading
about him and his folks in their catalog.  I have been doing business with them for over 20 years, so sorry.

Sorry to hear it  :'(  I have enjoyed reading his columns, seemed like a nice sort of guy. I liked learning how he started Bailey's and of his family, what America is all about.

Our condolences from everyone here at Petersons go out to Bills family.
It is at times like this that you start to appreciate more of what someone with his vision has done for not only himslf, but his family and all those who have used his services thoughout the USA and even here in New Zealand.
I am sure that his family will carry on his dream with as much eunthusiasm as he had and to continue to grow.
