Herbert Franklin Kay

Lisa & Tyler Sargent, Niagara University was never meant to be, instead your Dad and respective father-in-law answered the country's call as he was called up in the draft and served his country with honor, dignity, courage and conviction in a far away land in the light infantry patrol as scout and sniper behind enemy lines. For his wounds endured, both visible and invisible, he received the Purple Heart. He lived the Warrior Ethos; I will always place the mission first, I will never accept defeat, I will never quit, I will never leave a fallen comrade. His spirit and soul are now set free to roam a cold crisp wood for the perfect buck or doe to shoot, to roam a cold brook or stream for the perfect rainbow trout to hook, to now rejoin his squad of long ago and his brother Calvin, Aunt Monica and Uncle Don. An American Hero crossed over the rainbow and saw the face of God on Friday, 15 August 2025. May he rest in eternal peace and love in heaven as we know he saw and survived hell on earth in Vietnam when he was only 18 to 20 years old. Herb's mission is now complete. May you all have peace, power and strength in the days ahead. May you all have peace in knowing that Herb is at rest in peace.

Herby Kay was a man of honor and service. All my admiration to his life. Slow Salute!

Lisa and Tyler,We are so very sorry to read of your dad's passing. My cousin was a very talented piano player. I have such fond memories of listening to Calvin and him playing at Aunt Monica'sand Uncle Dons. We were all very proud of him for serving our country so diligently. May he rest in eternal peace and may perpetual light shine upon him.

Served his country.

Rest In Peace my friend
