Joseph P. Bailey

Age 50, of Andover.  Passed away peacefully amongst family on January 9, 2021 after a yearlong fight with cancer.  Joe had been employed by US AutoForce for 31 years where he formed many personal friendships.  He was a diehard Vikings fan. He had love for his family, fishing, travel, and his job. Joe passed many of his fine qualities and personality traits on to his children, hardworking, adventurous, humorous and most importantly taking care of their Mom. We are still working on making them Vikings fans.  Joe is survived by his beloved wife of 27 years, Sharon; sons, Christopher and Nathan (Cecilia); mother, Janet; brothers, Bob and Donald; many nieces and nephews; and many dear friends. Preceded in death by his brother, Scott.   Memorial visitation 3-7 PM Monday, January 18 at MUELLER-BIES FUNERAL HOME-LINO LAKES, 7050 Lake Dr. (Cty Hwy 23).  We are only able to have a very small church service later in the month due to COVID restrictions.  Memorials preferred to the family or brain cancer research.
