James ‘Jim’ Bay
It is with great sadness to announce the passing of James “Jim” Bay, 80, of Herlong, CA and Reno, NV.
Jim passed way on July 8th, 2015 after a short battle with cancer. He is survived by his four children; Dennis and Kristen Bay, Terri Bay, Jimmy Bay, and Tammy and Russell Montgomery. Jim was born in Stillwater, OK to Juanita and Willis Bay and after a brief enlistment with the Army during the height of the Korean War he married Cherie Delores Bisiaux on August 2, 1959 in Minden, NV.
Jim spent a career as a government civilian working on the Hawk missiles system before his retirement in 1989. He then began working as a sales associate with Home Depot in Reno, which soon became his passion. If you new Jim then you were probably given or looking for advice on repairing or rebuilding cars, house’s, guns or one of the many other areas that he had gained enormous knowledge in. Because of his vast knowledge and love of helping people and the many friends he made within his coworkers and customers, Jim continued to work for Home Depot until his illness overtook his body.
Jim will be greatly missed by his family and friends. Services will be held on Saturday, August 29th at the Doyle, CA community center from 10-4pm. All are welcome to attend this potluck style celebration of life.
