- Spent many afternoons there. Such great people.
- Spent many a school break playing euchre there. Kay was awesome with all of we kids. George was looking after the store and always a bit cranky but we would tease him and then the smile would come out. Such good people to the teens.
- Pinball in the basement oh yaaa.
- Yes ! We would skip classes just to go hang out there🤭
- me too 😜
-  me too 🤪
-I so remember. Good times.
- I was talking about Kay’s the other day with a friend.
- Lots of good times there hanging with the gang💖
- Wow. That brings me back. I lived a few doors down beside the high school.
-So many great memories at Kay's, sure miss those days!
-Grandparents
- Great times & great memories, super people ,
-George delivered our groceries every Saturday. 🙂🙂
- Lived 2 doors away for 20yrs!! Considered them my grandparents ..❤️
- Kay and George were always good to me. Kay used to make me lunch when I was downstairs
-Our first home was an apartment upstairs in a house on Durham St when Alex was a baby. George offered to deliver groceries when I needed them and couldn't get over to the store. Really kind people.
-Kay's and euchre were my life back then. Kay loved "her kids". I remember the repeat songs that used to play on the juke box. I still call them "Kay's classics" whenever I hear them. So many good memories. If the cops came around and accused any of us of doing something wrong, Kay would defend us and tell them "not my kids".
- was waiting for someone to say something lol. Truth be told....they let that slide and the kids all knew it.
- Many lunch hours spent there playing cards
- Everyone went to Kay's
-ABSOLUTELY everyone.
-Went to Kay’s all the time, it was by Wrigglesworth Public School.Pat Tuck
-Best penny candy on the way to Guides
- I got a little black kitten from them in 1979.
-Hung out there all the time in the early 70’s (likely too often lol), we even put a float in the Santa Claus parade and called it ‘Kay’s Kids’. Wouldn’t they be so proud to see all these nice comments about them 🙂
-I remember like yesterday.
-Love this pic Bonnie. Woven into my childhood. Passed there everyday on my way to school Stopped in most days also. I remember when George stabbed himself in the stomach cutting meat. Think it was the stomach? He was ill for a long time. Even when I went to Wrigglesworth I would walk a little further and go there on my way back from lunch.
- Wow that brings back memories.
-Takes us all back to a simpler place in time.
-the best penny candy ever
-Love it when life was slow and easy.
-Yup, good times
- Diet Coke, music from the juke Box and playing cards every lunch and spare!
-Many great memories there. They were so kind to us kids.
-We rented there house on Queen Street, George delivered the groceries there every week. Good people. I remember when George cut an artery in the top of his leg and almost died. Scary.
-So many great memories of these 2 kind people..many visits to their store ..and as M.J. said a simpler life
- Yep
-Great folks, they probably did more to guide the teenage population of Georgetown in the right direction then people understand. Genuine people.
- ..more than school ever did...
-We had so much fun there. You could always find us there. They were so good to the kids of the 60's & 70's. Deborah Kane I remember that float. We were so proud doing it. You'll never find a better couple who cared about all of "Kay's Kids". 😀
-Wow - memories of penny candy and gumballs!
- A lot of pretty good euchre players graduated from Kays and the song Frankenstein by Edgar Winter is forever etched on my brain.
- Euchre tournaments in the basement. Boxes of candy you could buy 2 for a penny or 3 for a penny. Got a bag full for 10 cents
- the original social media..! hot dog!!!
-Spent plenty of time there in high school. ..
- Free penny candy, lol . Poor George so ripped off by all the kids in town. He didn’t care loved us all.
- I lived closer to downtown so frequented Maw's instead. Kay's was a long established business, though.
- I was a Maw’s veteran too.
-Remember it well. Spent many a dime on penny candy
- Awe I so remember it - went there often and got lots of candies 😄
- Euchre, the Immigrant song on the juke box. Spent many lunches and spares there.
- and skipping lol
-yes I liked jumping rope haha
-Kay was very keen in that she often knew we were suppose to be in class and would question us, was hard to trick her...not sure how she kept track of everyone’s schedule 🤔
- that was true!
-she did though,
she asked me why I didn't have one,
made me think she asked at the school, or something
-Loved going there from school & I took home one of the calico kittens from there & was lucky enough to have my Mom say “yes” we could keep her! 💝
- Fantastic people. I went there every Friday with a dime for candy. Remember Kay and her cats.
- loved going to this place when I was in school!
- Euchre, cigarette smoke, meeting with friends and Queen on the juke box 👍🏻.
-Wonderful people sure do miss them.💖
- I always think of Kay when I hear "Tennesse Waltz" Her fav song.
-That is a fantastic way to remember someone.
-So many great memories.
-Oh my! The best penny candy! The best Dutch loaf! The best card games! The best place that felt like home!
- Some how George was related to my grandmother? Her cousin maybe not sure. She was school friends with Kay. Every time we left the store she’d say ...”not sure how Kay has kept a young whipper snapper like George happy all these years” LoL I miss my gran!
-George was my grandfather .. interesting to know relatives 😊
-my grand mother was a Bulifant (spelling is off)
-Spent a lot time there just the best kind of people
- I literally spent more time in there than in the school. Kay and I occasionally discussed the smell of burning leaves outside.
- Sour cream and onion potato chips, pop and cigarettes for lunch. Great tunes blasting while paying cards. Great memories.
-Great folks
-Spent lots of time at Kay's!! Fabulous people!!
-My older siblings got to hang out there too. Great couple those two were to several generations of us from the high school
-They were the most awesome folks with more patients then one would think possible. One of my favourite spots while attending both Wrigglesworth the GDHS a cold pop on a hot day, 10 cents worth of penny candy for a nickel, George was awesome. They sure cared of us kids back then. RIP you wonderful folks :)
-Lots of memories!! Pinball and cards and a few other things!!!😁😁😁
-I sure spent a lot of time there. Great memories
-great couple, indeed,
loved that place, spent a bit of time there
- miss you Grandma and George Rip
-We lived next door and I really miss them as well. So many memories. Going there on breaks from school etc.
-I got to confess my sins, i stole the odd .1 cent candy from there! Dam it!😑
- I think we all did
- well that makes me feel better😁👍🏻
-and as much as we thought we had got away with it I am sure George knew about at least 99% and smiled...
- isnt that the truth don!
-Remember it well.
- Wow memories and no regrets !
-With the popularity of this posting perhaps it’s time to find a way to memorialize these two something permanent.

- actually brandford 😊
-Great people ! Awesome picture 👍
- Can't say enough about them great people
- lots of fond, fun and interesting memories and times hanging out there with friends playing cards, eating candy and whatever else we may have been doing
- I grew up from 1965 til the summer of until 1969 and lived at 74 Guelph Street next to the High School. Every day I past George and Kay's shop on my way to school at Wrigglesworth School. There shop with their 1 cent candy counter was my dream shop. A Quarter with his small brown paper bags at that counter was my candy dream! George was a cultural icon in the 1960's that impacted so many of us in a challenging time of Canadian history! As I look back at the history of our nation I have to think that George and Kay have had so much greater affect in my life and who I am as a Canadian then any politician or person in the history of my life. They were what we represent as Canadians unbiased of who are where we came from and grass root hard working people that understood the need of their community and were always there when the neighourhood needed something. It was a place that GDHS students could hang out at the end of a stressful day! May they both rest in peace knowing how important they were in my life and all that walked through their shop doors! I miss those days and what they represented. True Canadian Patriots!
-OMG !!!....IF THIS STORE COULD TALK💝
-Loved George and Kay, they were truly wonderful people. Very lucky to have had them in my life <3 <3
- Remember it well!
- Great people . I visited George in Toronto General ( I think ) when he accidentally put a huge butcher knife in himself while attempting to slice frozen meat ? It was a lesson I never forgot. Cards at Kay"s was the best part of high school.
- great memories
-I remember that.
-George always made it look like he counted every single piece of candy but the bag always had more candy than we had pennies, LOL
-Penny candies!! Loved it
-They loved us teens and we loved them
-Smoking good hash back then lol oh boy memories
- No matter what the building is being used for it will always be Kay’s..
- That’s where I learned how to play euchre
- Remember going there after school. Way back in the early sixties.🥰
-Spent many a school day playing pinball and shooting the shit kay, that lady smoked to packs a day, George was a great guy, good old Georgetown people
- Last going off a lady named Gloria own it I believe.
- yup, I remember washing the floor for lunch.
- Wow long time
- Spent more time at Kay's than school!
- I think everyone did lolz!!!
- They basically raised me. XO
- This picture was before it was a school hangout
- When you really think about it. George and Kay kept us safe. Gave us a clean safe place to listen to music play cards and just hang out!!! Miss that place . May they both rest in peace. Both of them were fantastic!!
-Oh the GDHS days!
- Many memories. Now just to remember them all.
- yes, I remember all of my memories except those I've forgotten ;-)
- Hardly an afternoon passed that I didn't stop in here on my way home to get a soft-drink in a green bottle, not 7-up or ginger ale but a funny shaped bottle.... mountain dew comes to mind? or a popsicle and if I had enough money for a bag of chips, it was like Heaven! Saw me through till I got to the Dairy!
-much like Mountain Dew it came in a funny Green Bottle :)
- Now I really think of was FLIP, thanks for jarring my memory.
-Pinball in the basement. Paul Nichol and Claire Stuart and Michael Stankovits

-So many memories with George and Kay awesome picture
