Mr. Bailosky was my teacher at Elyria Catholic and he will definitely be missed. He was always positive, he never really got mad, and I know I’m going to miss those silly stickman figures on those overheads.
RIP Mr. B

I had the pleasure of having Mr. B at Elyria West back in 82 and while I was not one of his most conforming students he tolerated me and others with good humor.
He was such a cool teacher telling stories of his days at I think Kent State (a lot of years have passed and my memory seems to be going) and the concerts he attended there Jimmy Hendrix being one of them.
You will be missed by many Mr. B.

JIM, as my first cousin was the best. The memories from our younger days will be always in my heart. He not only was a teacher of the young but an inspiration to all thru his kindness and honesty. He was that one in a million that could play and exceed in any sport with the greatest of ease and grace. Jim’s legacy will forever be that of a loyal family man and true sportsman. JIM- you will be missed by all and may GOD always have a starting spot in His sports arena for you! your loving cousin Glenn
