Floyd Bay passed away Monday, December 1, 2003 after a short illness at Appleton Medical

Like those of his generation, Floyd faced tremendous challenges early in life. At the age
of 17 the stock market collapsed commencing the worst economic depression in history
culminating in World War II. As a teen, he worked on a cousin’s farm for room and board
and enough firewood to heat the family home during winter. He often hopped freight trains
in search of work throughout the Midwest and South. During World War II, he joined the
military serving with the Seabees in the South Pacific. Following the war, he returned to

Company from which he retired in 1977.

sons Buck (Bruce) and wife Jackie, St. Louis, MO; Dan and wife Deborah, San Rafael, CA;
Scott (Michael), Minneapolis, MN; Tom, Kaukauna; and daughter Debra and her husband Wayne
Nighorn, Pulaski, WI; sister-in-law, Celmira Bay, Asuncion, Paraguay. Additionally, 11
grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, many loving nieces and nephews survive him. Besides
his parents, sisters Sallie and Ruth, and, recently, brother Clyde preceded him in death.
As were his wishes there will be no funeral. A celebration of his memory and life will be
held at Van Abel’s Supper Club in Hollandtown on Saturday, January 17, 2004 from 11 a.m.
until 3 p.m. Friends who knew Floyd are welcome to join the family and share in this
celebration. Those wishing further information about this event can call 920.759.4423 or
email mbay @ mn.rr.com.
Floyd’s early life provided a rich foundation of stories and opinions about national and
local events. An avid reader known for his wit and candor, Floyd would often contribute to
the Appleton Post-Crescent’s It’s Your Call. His stories about his early life are
legendary. Both poignant and humorous, they told of a time filled with incredible
struggles and human relationships.
A special thank you goes out to the staff of doctors, nurses and aides at Appleton Medical
Center, Dr. Danz and Kaukauna Medical Clinic. Their compassion for Floyd and his family
was simply amazing during the last week of his life. In addition, the family expresses its
gratitude to an exceptional cadre of friends who provided assistance over the past couple
of years.
Floyd, as you passed through those gates, we know you were met by a lot of the buddies who
preceded you. They missed you just as much as you missed them. We miss you, too, and look
forward to joining up with you again, when it is our time to come.
