David BAY Obituary

David was a very valued friend to my late parents, from childhood, as they grew up together in Pakawau.
Marilyn and I got to know him well during his visits over the past decade or so. He was a fine man, committed Christian and a gentleman.
We will miss him. Our sincere condolences to all his family.
David and Marilyn Ferguson,
Kaihoka, Collingwood.

I only know him through his son, Murray, but that is enough to know that his home-going had to be precious in the sight of the Lord and the joyous fulfillment of a life dedicated to the glory of God.

A truly wonderful gentleman and such a leading light in the New Zealand Dairy Industry for so many years. My thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

A special man, now rejoicing with his Lord. He worked tirelessly for God, bringing others to know Him. It has been a privilege knowing Mr Bay and we are grateful for his input into our lives.

One of God's special servants, faithful, generous gentleman. Mr Bay Prayed daily for my parents for several decades in their service for God, then recently began praying for my son and wife who are studying in USA. I treasure the letters of encouragement he sent to me. Gloria Thompson (LIND)
