In Memoriam
With heavy hearts, the TSS Community mourns the recent passing of Albert Kay, FASM, TSS-HoF. Kay, retired president of ASB Industries, was a pillar of the Thermal Spray Society and volunteer leader for ASM International. He served as TSS president 2000-2002. In 2008, he was elected to the TSS Hall of Fame. His citation read: "For excellence in recognizing and commercializing emerging technologies such as HVOF and cold spray and for his proactive role in ASM and TSS committees leading to the spread of thermal spray in many industries." In 2016, Kay received the ASM Distinguished Life Membership award. A more complete obituary will be included in the September issue of Advanced Materials & Processes magazine.
Please keep Charlie Kay and his family in your thoughts during this difficult time.
