How do you begin to express how much Bill Gay meant to his family and friends? He always had time to make you laugh with a joke or uplift your spirits by being happy to see you. Jay and I certainly are fortunate to have made such good friends, who became family, after arriving in a new town way back in 1997. Bill enjoyed life and fought hard in this battle along with the love of his life with him every minute of the journey. The angels are singing and enjoy Bill's version of "Elvis". Prayers and support for all of Bill's family.

Bill was a great guy who loved his family and friends dearly. He loved entertaining and was fast with a joke. He made the absolute best itailian spinach anywhere. Bill loved making things for his friends as well as his grandchildren. He will be truly missed. Bill fought like a warrior. Rest in Peace Bill

Bill Gay was a great man and a good friend for the few years that I knew him. He was very supportive, always there to listen and quick with a joke in times that needed levity. I still tell stories about him to this day. I haven't had contact with him in many years, but I think of him often. I will always remember him. My deepest sympathies to Becky, Kevin, Lesley and the rest of the family.
