Mike H. Hay, 78

Mike H. Hay, 78 passed away in Wrangell with his family by his side on April 28, 2017.

He was born on August 30, 1938 in Bakersfield, California to Joyce and Virginia Hay and moved to Wrangell with them and his younger sister Suzy in 1943 when he was five. He was drafted in 1961 and became a paratrooper in the U.S Army, stationed in Okinawa. That same year he married Carol and they spent 56 wonderful years together.

They had three children, Tammy, Jeni and Chuck. Mike was a commercial fisherman for over forty years on his beloved F/V Julie Ann. Mike was a charter member of the golf course, a pioneer member, Elks Club member and lifetime member of the NRA. He loved deer hunting, trout fishing and especially duck hunting at his favorite place "the Duck Shack." He also enjoyed bowling and golf, but the thing he enjoyed the most was spending time with his family.

Mike is survived by his wife Carol, children Tammy and her husband Mike, Jeni and her husband Steve, Chuck and his wife Ava, grandchildren Tammy and her husband Mike, Jeni and her husband Steve, Chuck and his wife Ava, grandchildren Jaron and his wife Marissa, Megan, Tori, Kayla and Jacen, sisters Suzy and Dodie as well as several nieces and nephews.
