George Fay Memoriam



FAY GEORGE MORRIS FAY May 22, 1909 - November 17, 1957 Fifty years ago today, your death at age 48 brought deep sorrow to your wife and five children, as well as your siblings, parents and many friends in the Washington community. The words that were unformed then have taken form through the half century, and now rest peacefully in the memory of a gentle, honest man. Your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren celebrate your life and extraordinary example as son, husband, father and friend to so many. We echo the prayer of so long ago: May you rest in peace, you who served and loved so well. Your love lives on in a grateful family. Lynn Fay Chalmers
