Rest in Peace, Joe Bay!

Uncle Joe was one of the most loved family members and loved all of us with his whole heart. He spoiled his nieces and nephews with so much but especially with his love and kindness. He never knew a stranger and when the family grew with new members, he always accepted us with open arms. He would do anything for us, we just needed to ask and he'd do his best to make it happen. There are so many wonderful memories to cherish and I will forever be grateful for all that he did for me and my...

Many many great memories with Joe and our Royals years together. One of the kindest most generous men I ever met. All our love and prayers for Joe and all the family.

God Bless Rest in Peace

Joe, was one of the nicest people I ever met. I was a season ticket holder for the Royals in the 70's & 80's and being there to see the Royals win their 1st World Series in 1985 was a moment in time to remember
forever! Joe along with the deceased Bob Stiegler back in 1986 arranged for me to sing the National Anthem at a game with the Seattle Mariners. An experience I'll never forget!! Thanks Joe and RIP!!!

Joe Joe was my friend and coworker at the Royals for many years. He let me share his birthday with him because mine was a day before his and the tradition started 19 years ago. Joe had a great sense of humor, even through some very stressful times. He knew so many people around town and seemed to be somehow related to most of them. He usually said, “Oh bay, my niece or nephew owns that.” I am proud to say that he was my friend and I know he is smiling down from Heaven on us now.
