Paula, Ronnie, Barry and Pamela,
I am so sorry for your loss, we've all been through too much in such a short period of time. Even though it is hard and heartbreaking to lose our parents and grandparents, we should try to remember that they are in a better place, back with their loved ones who went before and they are no longer sick or in pain. Also remember you will see them again and until then they are watching over you. I love each and every one of you.

Dearest Kevin, Cindy and Family.  What a wonderful tribute to someone who served his country for so many years.  Great patriots have special places in the hearts of their families and all of us as well.  I know this is a very difficult time for you and your family but I hope that knowing you are in our thoughts and prayers will help to ease your sorrow.  Sincerely, Patty Procell

The Final Salute

“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another. 

This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to Paul H. Hay  our “Brother-in-Arms”.   To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for Paul.   And to Paul it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the devoted and selfless service he rendered to his country during the Korean and Vietnam Wars while serving in the U.S. Air Force.  Paul, we bid you a sad farewell.  You will be dearly missed from among our ranks.  Be at Ease.  Rest in Peace.
 
On behalf of the 1,341 members of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion,  I extend our sympathies and our condolences to Paul’s family and loved ones.

Dennis Engdahl, Commander, American Legion Post 14

Grandpa,

Just wanted you to know I will never forget the times I spent with you. I will always remember our trips down to visit you and Grandma. I will never forget you teaching me how to fish and how much fun I had riding in the boat with you at the lake. They are memories I will have with me forever. You will be missed! Love you Grandpa!

Your Grandson, Barry

Master Sargent (grandfather in-law) Hay,

I am sorry that I was never blessed with the chance to meet you. From all the stories I have heard you were nothing but an amazing person. You did a heck of a job raising a wonderful woman in Mrs. Dalton and if she represents any of your character then you are a gift from God that the world was blessed to have. I wish that we were able to be there to see you off to your final resting spot. You leave behind a wonderful legacy that the Hay family will continue to carry on and you will be missed by all of us. Now that you and your wife are reunited in heaven I know you are at peace and one day we will all be reunited. My condolences go out to those who you leave behind and know that their grief will only last until God calls us home. 

Sincerely,

Andrew Moore

I'll miss you greatly grandpa. I got my love of photography from you and I can never thank you enough for everything you've ever done for me. I wish I could have seen you one more time and gotten to say goodbye. I am happy you are no longer in pain though and that you are with grandma again forever. I love you. 
Pamela
