Wayne Bay Obituary
Dresden - Wayne E. Bay, 72, of Dresden, Ohio died Monday morning, November 23, 2020 at Genesis Hospital in Zanesville, Ohio.
Born August 16, 1948 in Zanesville he was a son of the late Richard N. and Marion L. (Roach) Bay and was a 1966 graduate of Frazeysburg High School. Following high school he proudly served our county in the U. S. Army, serving in Korea. Wayne worked for many years with B & O Railroad and later he was employed by the Longaberger Company in construction and as a truck driver. He was a talented musician and was a member of the Coshocton-Muskingum String Pickers, who weekly played to patients in area nursing homes. He was also a member of the VFW and was an avid outdoorsman, enjoying hunting and fishing. His greatest love was his family, especially his grandchildren.

Also surviving are three brothers, Rick (Ruby) Bay of Dresden, John (Nancee) Bay of Frazeysburg and Joe (Jane Lorenz) Bay of Dresden; a sister, Peggy (Scott) Warren of Cumberland, Ohio; his very special friend, Georgia Robison of Nashport and several nieces and nephews.

Wayne was a great friend and a special person. He always had a smile and would do anything for anyone.
He will be sadly missed at are card games and our BS sessions. His fried potato was the best. Wayne will will meet again at the big card table.
