He later returned to live in Kingsport and was active in First Presbyterian Church, serving as a Deacon and playing in the Bell Choir. John loved spending time outdoors and studying nature in all its forms, but he was, above all, an avid birder. John traveled widely to spot and observe as many species as possible. Often seen with his binoculars, he was extremely knowledgeable and was excited to share his knowledge with anyone who was interested.
John was preceded in death by his parents, John and Elizabeth Ann Hay.
He is survived by his brothers, Jerome Hay and wife Judy Beck of Asheville, N.C., and William Hay and wife Claudia of Germany; and nieces and nephew, Caitlin, Duncan, Manon and Megan.
