Services for Ronnie Bay, known as the “Friendly Giant of North Denver,” are Friday at noon at Olinger Crown Hill, 7777 W. 29th Ave. Bay died July 1 of complications from pneumonia. While attending North High School, Bay won three state wrestling championships in the late 1940s in the heavyweight division. Bay joined the U.S. Marines out of high school. After his military service, he opened Micky Manor, a popular restaurant near West 26th and Federal. His personality made him quick friends with anyone he met. He is survived by daughters Kelly Watts, Kenna Roybal and Karen Bay. Irv Moss, The Denver Post
