Thomas Randle Kay, 92, of Sun City Center, Fla., passed away on August 14, 2015. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Margaret and his sister Dorothea Phillips, and he is survived by two nieces, Jane Mikalsky (husband Stephen) and Susan Brading (husband Andrew).
Born in Manchester, England, Thomas served in the British military during World War II, and graduated from Manchester Commerce College after his military service. He was a member of the British Institute of Marketing and Management.
At Tappan Industries, he held the position of General Manager for International Sales and was relocated to the Mansfield, Ohio, office in 1970; there he became Director of International Operations, and he retired as Vice President of non-domestic operations in 1987.
He and Margaret spent their final years together in Sun City Center.

A family memorial and celebration of Tom’s life will be held in England.
