Millerton – "The Last of the Original Rounders of Riga", Wallace W. Kaye, 81, died Thursday, August 19, 2021 at Sharon Hospital in Sharon, CT following a courageous battle with cancer. Wally as he was more affectionately known worked as a mason for Sharon Masonry in Sharon, CT and as a truck driver for UpCountry Landscaping also in Sharon prior to his retirement.
Born March 14, 1940 in Sharon, CT he was the son of the late Wallace A. and Blanche (Bates) Kaye. While growing up on the Kaye Farm he enjoyed attending agricultural fairs, riding horses and caring for his favorite goat "Cliff". He was a graduate of Roeliff Jansen High School and attended SUNY Cortland. On September 19, 1967 in Ancram, NY he married Linda Brendline. His loving wife survives at home. Wally was a past member of the 4H Club and the Millerton Fire Company. He was also a former baseball coach for the Farm League in Amenia, NY. He was avid hunter and founding member of the Rounders of Riga, a hunting club which was established in 1952 with many of his dearest friends. He also enjoyed ice fishing in the winter months and cross word puzzles in his spare time.
Wally enjoyed talking to his nephews, Don and Greg and taking drives with his niece Charlene. He had a special bond with his granddaughter Jaya, who lovingly referred to as "Sam". They spent time together playing with balloons, and he enjoyed giving her dollar bills to put in her little savings bank. He will be deeply missed by his beloved family and many dear friends.
In addition to his wife of 54 years, Wally is survived by his son, Brian E. Kaye and his wife Maya of Millerton and his daughter, Lisa Bradley and her husband Keith of Eloy, AZ; three grandchildren, Jaya "Sam" Kaye and Justin and Brandon Lundy; two great grandchildren and his brother George Kaye and his wife Etsuko of Millerton and several nieces and nephews.
