Mr. Albert L. Bay

Albert Leslie Bay, formerly of Mountain View, passed away Sunday, March 4, 2018 in Kingman, AZ due to natural causes. Born September 21, 1923 to Albert Lee and Minnie May (Webb) Bay in Licking, MO, he was 94 years old. The family moved from Licking to Mountain View when Albert was a young boy. He attended the local schools and graduated from Mountain View High School. He enlisted in the Air Force and proudly served his country from June 1945 until his honorable discharge in December, 1946. Albert served as a clerk-typist stationed in Greenland. He also received the World War II Victory Medal for his service. He and Sadie Ann Turner were married April 17, 1952, and together they raised four children. Albert was employed as a Master Carpenter for Virtue Brothers in California for 25 years. He also worked in the Aircraft parts industry for Panel Air Corporation in California. It was said he even worked on the spacelab, but he never liked to talk about his accomplishments. He preferred to speak about what is right, proper, how to conduct oneself, and how to live a righteous life. He exemplified what made America a great nation. He was firm, hardworking, and focused, but was also aware of the importance of leisure. He was an avid golfer for most of his life. While living in California, he was an active member of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Cypress. He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and all who knew him. He is preceded in death by his parents, five sisters, and four brothers. He is survived by his son, Donald E. Bay and his wife, Sharon of Kingman, AZ; three daughters: Patricia Buehn of Irvine, CA; Susan M. Hawker and her husband, John of Ringgold, VA; and Janet Wilde and her husband, Randy of Defiance, OH. He is further survived by his sister, Wilma Hergeshimer of Long Beach, CA; and longtime companion, Bonnie Brundridge. Further surviving are ten grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren. Memorial donations may be made in Albert's memory to the VFW, or the American Legion and may be left at the funeral home. Visitation for Albert will be held on Saturday, March 17, 2018 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM with the funeral service immediately following at 2:00 PM at Willow Funeral Home with Pastor Scott Williamson officiating.
