Kiette, Alexandra and the Jones Family, I was so sorry to hear of my old friend Jay's passing. Its been a long time since I've seen him but we grew up together in Arlington and I have great memories of Jay (Jonesy) and me braving many a cold day hiking across spy pond to the boys club. He taught me how to box and how to take a punch. We hung out at spy pond many Friday and Saturday night and I remember all the good times and laughs we had playing islands in the middle of winter getting soaking wet and having to go to the laundrymat to dry our clothes. It was all kid stuff but they are some of my fondest and best memories. I wish your family all the best, Rest in peace my old friend thanks for the great memories.
Love and Respect,
Alan Najarian

My deepest sympathy to the Jones family on the untimely passing of Jay. From our days at the Boy's Club, through high school and beyond Jay always brought a smile to my face, and all those around him. He will be missed.

Kiette & Alli,

You were his foundation, the loves of his life...his rock. He will continue to give you strength in everything you do today & always.

We will miss hearing about his latest golfing adventures & his drives looking for new dirt.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I have been doing business with Jay for many years and we became friends. We golfed together many times. When we talked golf he would always light up and the conversation would always go on forever. He always had a new training tool to improve his game and I had to try it. His dry sense of humor and friendship will be missed.
