Frank Lee Bailey, 79 of Springfield, passed away at home with his wife (Madelyn) near his side on July 23rd, 2017. He was born April 14th, 1938, in Fresno, California, to Edward and Bonnie Bailey.
As a plumber by trade, he was hired by Fasco Industries in Ozark, MO, to construct in the development and growth of the plant. He continued working in the maintenance department for 35 years. After retiring from Fasco, he was hired back to maintain the building six more years for other occupants.
Frank loved being with his family and friends. Frank was an avid outdoors man. He liked to fish, hunt and, sometimes, just go sit on the hill where he grew up in Rogersville. When he was indoors, Frank enjoyed watching Cardinals baseball and March Madness basketball. Frank loved going to the lake and being with his many friends. Known by all for his fish and "Bubba" fries. Frank also loved music and thoroughly enjoyed going each year to the Blue Grass and Gospel Festival at Silver Dollar City with his cousin John. Frank's lending hand to others was never-ending and his way of showing that he cared.
