I am saddened to hear about the passing of Mr. Hay. I recently learned of this when my mom advised me that Barry Hay died this past summer. I remember vividly of growing up and playing baseball with their son, Jeff, and how engaged and committed Barry & Pat Hay were with their children. He was very kind and always had a smile for you. The Hays were very supportive of their kids and they never failed to show up at all of our baseball games and practices. Their kindness was unconditional and it is evident that these traits were passed down to Jeff and Jodi. It was difficult when Jeff passed away but my parents reminded me that the Hays were strong and resilient, something that I imagine got them through that challenging period. Take care and our deepest condolences from our family (the Skomorohs) to yours. - Posted by: Darren Skomoroh (Friend) on: Jan 13, 2021

I am so very sorry to hear of Mr. Hay's passing. Mr. Hay was always so welcoming, kind, easy going, and always had a few jokes and stories to share. During the summers, I would enjoy stopping over with my kids, for a visit with Mr. and Mrs. Hay. I will certainly cherish all the lovely memories I have of Mr. Hay and am so thankful to have know such a wonderful man. He will be truly missed. Praying for strength and peace for you Mrs. Hay, Jodi, Tim, Casey and Emily, during this difficult time and always. Much love - Amber xo - Posted by: Amber Hatcher (friend ) on: Jul 14, 2020
