Floyd Bay passed away Monday, December 1, 2003 after a short illness at Appleton Medical Center. He was born July 23, 1912 to the late Edwin and Anne Bay.
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 Kaukauna to reunite with his family and work as an electrician for Thilmany Pulp and Paper Company from which he retired in 1977.
He is survived by his “Old Crony,” best friend and loving wife of 63 years, Trudy (Drucilla); 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.
