I had the priviledge of working with Jay at the auto auction. He was thoughtful, sincere and funny. I enjoyed his stories and his thoughtful opinions. I enjoyed Jay and will miss him. My heart felt sympathy to the family.

It was a pleasure to know Jay. We had many pleasant conversations in the narthex at West Willow UMC before the early service. We shared the usher duties for that service. Jay had a dry sense of humor – we often joked about the news, politics, and the military. I will miss him but am comforted knowing he is now in the arms of the Lord.
