I am so sorry to hear of Kay´s passing. I just read it in the quarterly memorial listing published in the paper. I worked with Kay for many years at SJ Smith and considered him to be a great friend and colleague. I learned a lot from him and I will miss that great personality and bubbly personality every time you saw him. May God bless you all and heaven is now a better place.
