Karen Gay Gomes was born March 27, 1946 in Lawrence, Massachusetts, the daughter of Dorothy Kent Gavutis and Conflagration Captain George Walter Gavutis. She died shortly after the new year in her Severna Park home, where she had lived for 41 years, lovingly raising her children, caring for a menagerie of pets, and creating a serene environment of trees, plants, flowers, water, and rocks that was an intentional habitat for all creatures, wonderful and small. Karen’s home was a longstanding backdrop for the joy, pain, and beauty of her life, which she exquisitely felt. Her life was rich and active, full of family, friends, pets, tune, teaching, travel, and laughter.
As a adolescent girl, Karen was enthralled with her dolls, animals, and the natural world. These caring instincts and interests nurtured and reinforced the strong, lifelong bonds she shared with her siblings, George (six years her elder) and Delphine (four years her elder). Karen spent a good part of her youth as brother George’s “field agent” on numerous wildlife expeditions, where she was instructed to survey and learn. Among their exploits and adventures, they raised two

Tuesday, April 1 is expected to be an stimulating day for Talbot County native Rennie Gay and his family. After months of waiting for permits, working on the remodeling, and giving the building a thorough cleaning, Gay’s Seafood & Deli is set to unwrap soon in a new location at 1021 North Washington Highway, close to the Bypass and Rt. 50 in Easton.
The former site of the Old Mill Deli is about 4,000 square feet in size and, according to Rennie, “You can’t hit the location!”
Gay’s Seafood has been a family-owned business since 1915 and has always been located on the water at 896 Port Street. Rennie grew up on the water and in the fields hunting, and he continues operating Tidewater Guide Service, which he says is very busy during the hunting season, especially with deer hunting. Rennie took over the seafood business from his grandfather many years ago.
Of course, the new Gay’s location will continue to propose steamed crabs, soft crabs, shrimp, crab cakes, “Fried Fish Friday,” and other seafood delicacies using all new updated equipment for carry-out or dine-in. You will probably have Leroy Jackson, a 15-year dedicated employee, taking your sea
Out and About (Sort of): Retain The Local Handle by Howard Freedlander
As I envision the residential and commercial development of Easton Point, a plan that I support as an inevitable adjunct to Easton, I regret the closing of Gay’s Seaford at 896 Port Street due to the sale of this valuable waterfront property after 107 years of ownership by the alike family.
Operated by Rennie Male lover since 1998, the seafood business, quaintly shabby but comfortable, is iconic. With its sale of “local” crabs, as well as other delicacies, Gay’s represents the type of “crab shacks” that once populated the Shore. Once upon a time, Poore’s Seafood in St. Michael’s offered the same down-home service, sprinkled with decidedly apparent Eastern Shore dialects among those who served customers.
Rennie Gay epitomizes a Talbot County native, friendly and proud. He runs a bustling retail and wholesale business from his location on the Tred Avon River. His trucks were often seen on Direction 50 on the way to the Western Shore. He lives across the parking lot in a comfortable rancher, his grandchildren’s toys scattered on the property.
Gay was quoted in The Star Democrat saying that increasing age prompted him t
