Obituary
KAY, Paul Jeffrey (PK)
With his family by his side, Paul passed away peacefully on Friday, October 4, 2024 at the age of 69.
Beloved husband of Anne (MacEwan). Proud father of Laura Mitchell, and Daniel Kay and his wife Jessica. Adored by his grandchildren Jakob and Kayla Mitchell, and Aubrey, Leigha, Elise and Brynn Kay. Dear son of Shirley Cookson, and brother and brother-in-law of Robert and Bonnie Kay, Patti and Joe Hanrath, Scott and Marci Kay, Beth and Paul Feagan and Scott and Mary Jo MacEwan. Fondly remembered by many nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his father Don Kay.
Paul’s true passion was his family. He watched with pride as his children grew up to be as strong, independent, caring and compassionate as he was. He took delight in watching his grandchildren experience life and taught them his ingrained values by example.
Paul had an adventurous childhood growing up in Clinton. Moving to London in 1973, he worked for a variety of cable TV and telecommunication companies including Lorron Technologies Inc. where he was a partner. With the moniker the King of Cable, through the years he taught and mentored many apprentices and formed wonderful friendships in the industry.
Sports played an integral role in Paul’s life. From the time he was six until just a few months ago he was on the ice shooting and scoring! Second to hockey came golf where he enjoyed spending time on the links with his family and friends. His enthusiasm for sports carried over to his years spent coaching many hockey and soccer teams.
Whether relaxing in his clubhouse, working in the garden or cruising down the highway listening to tunes in his Jeep, Paul loved life. Through it all, he treasured his family and friends, and enlivened many a get together with his quick wit, sense of humour and colourful stories. His memory will live on with those who had the privilege of knowing him. So give those you love a hug and raise a glass to PK.

I was very sad to hear of Paul’s passing. I had the privilege and pleasure of growing up next door to Paul and his family in Clinton. Although I have not seen Paul for many years (close to fifty years!), I have fond memories of his free spirit and love of life. I would have liked to attend the celebration of his life, but my son is getting married that weekend. Please accept my condolences and take comfort in the fact that Paul is fondly remembered by those of us who were touched by him many years ago.
I offer my sincere condolences to the Kay Family on Paul Jeffery’s passing. I enjoyed watching him grow up on High Street in Clinton.
My deepest sympathy to all of Paul’s Family and Friends. Sending love and hugs💙
Condolences to Paul’s family. I grew up and played with Paul when growing up in Clinton. When I moved to London to work for London Hydro, I frequently met Paul out on the different jobs. Paul was a great guy and had many fond memories of him playing sports with him in a small community.
To the Kay family. Our sincerest condolences. May he rest in peace.
My condolences to Paul’s family. I have played hockey the last few years with and against Paul. He was the one to come up to me and asked hey aren’t you the Lorne Merner from Bayfield? I had to admit that it was true. Actually I believe I was in grade 9 with his brother. I really liked Paul and I am going to miss him on the ice. Again my heart goes out to the family.
Lorne
Sending you huge hug, my friend.
My thoughts and prayers are with you Anne at this time of loss. Sincere sympathy to you and your family as you remember Paul.
I did not know Paul or his family, but to you and through you to his mother Shirley who I’ve know since childhood, sincere condolences for your loss of Paul.

Dear Anne, Please accept my deepest and sincerest condolences for you and your family’s loss.
Dear Anne and family, please accept my sincerest sympathies.
I only knew Paul a few years as we met playing hockey in London Senior Hockey and played together and against him. He was a good guy and we liked to chirp each other on the ice or when we met. He will be missed and my condolences to his family.
Annie and the Kay family my deepest condolences. Years ago Paul and I played hockey for a couple of teams. I’d run into him over the years at Gordys place. Great guy with a great sense of humor. Rest in peace PK

Condolences to the Kay family for the loss of a husband father grandfather son and brother. I grew up in Clinton and played baseball and hockey and was a classmate and friend of Paul’s until my family moved in 1972. Although we lost touch of what was going on in each other’s lives it still hurts to lose an old friend. May your family always be blessed with those many great memories.RIP PK
