To All of Jay’s Family: As a staff member with Jay’s brother, Bob, for over 25 years, I had many opportunities to speak with Jay on the phone and enjoyed many visits from him at our office, too — always entertaining! It was a pleasure to hear of his latest exploits, notably his hunts for the elusive morel mushroom! Everyone here is thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort at this difficult time.

Jay was a good man and made me feel like part of the family, even before I was married to your brother. I am so sorry for your loss, he will be missed.
