BAYS Kenneth Bruce Bays, age 76, died Monday, October 20, 2008, at his home in Orient, OH. Although Kenny's early life was meager at best, he embraced the virtues of hard work, honesty and self sacrifice. In spite of the fact that he could not afford formal education, he schooled himself diligently in all areas of study. He served his country in the United States Air force as a transmitter engineer on the German/Russian border during the Korean conflict. After returning home he was employed by General Motors Corporation in Anderson, IN. As an engineer, Kenny worked with teams who would design multiple patent- awarded electrical components. But Kenny's desire to serve once again came to the forefront as he ran for the Indiana House of Representatives. In that role, he fought to protect the rights of the unborn; end the unethical influence of special interest groups; and abolish government corruption. After retiring from public service, Kenny was employed by General Motors' In! dustry Government Relations where he lead the fight for the landmark, life-saving mandatory seat belt laws. As a result of his hard work and dedication he was inducted into both the Kentucky Colonels and the Ohio Commodores. Although Kenny's accomplishments are many and great, he would wish it known that nothing was greater than his love for his family, although his love of golf ran a close second. He is preceded in death by his parents Byrd and Cleo Bays, and infant daughter Karen Kay Bays. Kenny is survived by his wife of 59 years, Barbara; children, Bradley Bays, Brian (Carrie) Bays, Amy (Jim) Ferguson, Jenny (Randy) Toombs, and Bruce (Jeanette) Bays; former daughters-in-law, Jessie Bays and Susie Parsons; 15 grandchildren; 3 great-grandchildren; brothers, Paul and Richard Bays; and special caregiver, Debra Sparks.

THOMPSON, David Francis 89, passed from this life on October 18, 2008. He was born in Blanchester, Ohio on November 3, 1918 , the son of Millard and Nola Overman Thompson.

From January 1944 to August 1945, Dave traversed the length of the Italian peninsula, moving from south to north, as a scout and foot soldier. His service to his country was the singular defining experience of his life. He was most humble regarding his distinguished service and rarely spoke of the heroism for which he was awarded three Bronze Stars for valor and combat performance and a Purple Heart for injuries received in action.

Saturday's in the fall over several decades were spent traveling the eastern United States to attend marching band contests in which his children and grandchildren participated. Over the past ten years, Dave's homemade chocolate chip cookies became legendary and were in great demand at family gatherings. Dave retired from Defense Electronic Supply Center in Dayton , OH and previously worked as a salesman for White Baking Co. He was a member of the Disabled American Veterans, the Hawker United Church of Christ (Beavercreek, Ohio), and was a Kentu! cky Colonel. Most recently, he attended the Greenup First United Metho dist Church in Greenup, Kentucky. Dave was preceded in death by his parents, a son, Gail D. Thompson, a granddaughter, Maggie Thompson and a sister, Alice Hicks. He is survived by his loving wife of 61 years Jerva Kegley Thompson; a son, Terry D. Thompson of Flatwoods; four dearly loved grandchildren, Melissa R. Thompson, Eric D. Thompson, Rebecca L. Thompson, and Olivia R. Thompson, and a broad host of family and friends. He was affectionately known to the Keaton family as "Papaw Dave," and was a surrogate grandparent to numerous young people. In Kentucky, a memorial service will be held at Caniff Funeral Home at 1:00pm on Tuesday, October 21. Family and friends may call prior to the service from 11am-1pm. In Ohio, visitation will be on Tuesday October 21 from 7-9pm at Tobias Funeral Home in Beavercreek, Ohio. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday, October 22 at 10am at Tobias Funeral Home.

DIZNEY, Robert age 71, of Fairfield, passed away at Hospice of Hamilton on October 14, 2008, following a long, courageous battle with colon cancer. He was born in Harlan County, Kentucky, in 1937, the son of Robert and Beatrice (Rowland) Dizney, both of whom predeceased him in 1982 and 1958 respectively. He graduated from Kentucky's Berea College in 1961 with a double major in math and English. He taught at Kings High School in Mason for nine years before transferring to Fairfield Senior High School in 1970, where he taught math, English and German until his retirement in 1994. He also taught at Miami University in Oxford while earning his M.Ed. degree. He then taught the last seven years of his 44-year career in education at the McGregor Graduate School of Antioch University in Yellow Springs. Illness forced his retirement in 2005. Over the years Dizney accumulated an impressive roster of awards and honors: He was Miami University's English Department Teacher Scholar during! the 1991-92 school year. He received Ashland Oil's Teacher Achievement Award in 1993, along with the McGregor Graduate School's recognition for his creative and original teaching methods that same year. He was selected as Outstanding Continuing Student by his peers at Miami University for 1995-96 and 1996-97, while studying for his doctorate. In 1998-99 he was appointed chairman of the faculty assembly at the McGregor School. He was also a member of MENSA throughout his entire adult life. His greatest honor, however, was being notified in September, 2008, that the Bob Dizney Writing Center at Antioch University McGregor had been named for him, due to his enormous contributions to the field of education. "It has been a pleasure," said chief of staff Deena Kent-Hummel, "to create a space reflective of Bob's influence and personality." As a lifelong learner, Dizney's many accomplishments often left his friends awestruck. He grasped concepts quickly and then applied them with ! record speed. Once, already well into middle age, he decided he wanted to become fluent in German-so he took local classes and then, with characteristic determination, enrolled in German Universities for two consecutive summers. He not only became fluent; he also organized several overseas group tours for teachers, including those to Germany, Austria and Switzerland. As someone who loved traveling extensively throughout the world, visiting seven continents and more than 70 countries, Dizney was always eager to share the magic with others. None of this was ever lost on his students. His compassion, kindness and generosity were obvious to all young people who knew him. He once lent his cobalt blue Corvette to a boy who didn't have the means to take his girlfriend to the prom--and then paced the floor all night like some frantic father. His favorite cause was fighting sexism in literature curricula; for years he wore a t-shirt which read, "When we shortchange girls, we shortchange America." Before Dizney's doctoral studies were interrupted by ill! ness, some high schoolers began calling him, "Dr. Diz, the Renaissance Man." One boy simply cut to the chase and dubbed him, "Doctor-Dizney-the- -smartest-man-in-the-world." But what his friends and loved ones will always remember best is his sense of humor. A fierce intellect made him a wonderful storyteller- and an even better joke teller. He could laugh about anything: rude behavior, political scandals-even the horrors of growing older. And at the very end of his life he quoted Falstaff's apt line from Shakespeare's Henry IV: "We have heard the chimes at midnight." Dizney is survived by a sister, Phyllis (Orville) Hubbs, a nephew, Gary (Pamela) Hubbs, a great-nephew, Adam (Sarah) Hubbs, a great-grand niece, Chelsea Hubbs. Also, family members Wanda Rowland, Roxie Rowland, Eva and Joe Rowland, Mildred Rowland and Ruth and Bill Mayfield. Also, devoted friend, Professor Christa Hungate of Johnson City, Tennessee; treasured friends Sharon Fisher, Coleen Armstrong, John Barro! n, Glen and Angie Stanton, Drs. Beverly Guterman and Robert Weisman, D r. Kate March, Martha Kinsey, Dale Whitman, Roberta Wiener and Lona Ann Prichard. Also, devoted university colleague Dr. Rick Fairman and his family--and longtime companion of 27 years, John Curley.
