Frederick John Bailey passed away peacefully in his sleep on November 1, 2025, at the age of 68.

Born on November 7, 1956, in Manchester, New Hampshire, he was the beloved son of Robert Lawrence Bailey and Marjorie Anderson Bailey.

Frederick graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a B.A. in Political Science. He was a four-year letterman on the Wildcat Tennis Team. After graduating, Frederick began his career in public service, first as an Alderman and later as President of City Council in Burlington, Vermont. He worked with (then) Mayor Bernie Sanders, who said: “Fred and I certainly had different political views, but he loved Burlington, was an excellent alderman, and we worked together successfully on a number of projects. He is of the reasons why Burlington moved forward in the 1980’s.

After moving to New York City, where he lived for over 25 years, he built a distinguished career in Institutional Capital Markets. Among his many accomplished roles, he was former Head of Consultant Relations at Citigroup, former Global Head of Plan Sponsor Sales at BNY Mellon, and a former Managing Director at FTSE and UBS Paine Webber. During his career, he built relationships and executed transactions with hundreds of institutional investors, including the City and State of New York, the City of Los Angeles, and over 35 states or state authorities.

Most recently, Frederick served as Head of Institutional Investor Relations for Glancy, Prongay & Murray, LLP. He also served as an Advisory Board Member at Intercontinental Real Estate Corporation, the Board Secretary at the Georgia Association of Public Pension Trustees, and as an appointed citizen Board Trustee and Chairman of the Investment Committee for the City of Savannah Employees Retirement Plan.

One of his greatest loves was serving the interests of the brave police officers and firefighters of our great country. Committed to giving back to his industry, Frederick spoke on pension and capital market topics at many industry forums, including the National Association of State Treasurers, the Government Finance Officers Association, Opal Public Fund Forums, and the Southeastern Markets Group.

Another of Frederick’s passions was politics. Most recently, he was the Labor Director for his good friend Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s 2024 Kennedy for President campaign.

Frederick’s intellect, integrity, and generosity earned him deep respect among colleagues and friends. A true New Englander, he brought the same drive and grace he showed in his professional life to the sports he loved. An avid skier and golfer, his greatest passion was tennis, where his many trophies stand as testament to his talent, dedication, discipline, and joy for the game.

Frederick was a proud member of The American Yacht Club in Rye, NY, and a former member of The Racquet & Tennis Club in New York City. He was also a member of The Savannah Golf Club and The Oglethorpe Club.

All who knew Fred know that his greatest pride and joy in this life came from his daughters, Elisabeth Anderson Bailey and Sloan Hodnett Bailey. He will be missed by them dearly, but they take great comfort in knowing that they can keep his spirit close by continuing the traditions he so wisely created for them: Thanksgiving in New York at the AYC followed by a trip to Bemelman’s Bar at The Carlyle; setting up the Christmas Village they collected over the years; watching The Sound of Music and The Godfather series more times than they can count; JG Melon and PJ Clarke’s; club sodas and Arnold Palmers at the pool; never being able to catch up to his gorgeous tan; singing Frank Sinatra in the car; and endless walks through the Savannah Historic District. 

They will miss his daily texts of funny memes and his sense of humor in general, which had no boundaries. A day will not pass without them feeling his love for them.
