Your Condolence Message:
My condolences to his son Cyrus. Saw Mr Hay’s obit in Shelby Daily Globe which I get via mail. I remember him as one of my teachers at Shelby High School in late 1950’s. He seemed a fine gentleman, professional and soft spoken. In the spring some eye lids failed his course of teachings, but he did his job in spite of us. I like his education and military background as seen in the paper. He was well prepared, lived a full life, but still we don’t like losing those we know and love. Blessings this day.
