I used to shop at the pool store every weekend in the 90's, always enjoyed going there just to chat with Mr. Kay. Fortunately I ran into him in the grocery store in recent years and got a chance to speak to him. So sorry to read of his passing.

He was one of my Very Favorite Uncles. He always made me feel, like not a niece, but one of his daughters. I can still hear his voice when I would call....." Wellll Joyce, how are you?" I loved my Uncle Dick to pieces and cannot express how devastated I am thàt he is gone and won't get to see him this summer. It is such and honor and privilege to call him my Uncle. He was one of the very best people in the world!! My heart breaks for my Aunt Deana and Judie, Karen, Rick and Kim, along with his grandchildren and great grandchildren!! He loved you all so very much!! I am so so sorry for your loss!! Sending all kinds of support, love and hugs to all of the family!!!
