Libby, I was saddened to read of Jay's passing and wanted to extend my condolences to you and all the Tracey family. Having been around the founding of the NWOC, it's very to remember a time when Jay wasn't a part of ordinary events. His grace and elegance and his estimable wit (not to mention his voice) made him a joy to be around. I shall miss him.

Our deepest sympahty to you, Libby, and our promise to remember you and Jay in our prayers. May you find wonderful stories and remembrances in this time a source of comfort and peace (and I'm sure there are stories aplenty of Jay's life). As for Carole and I, I suspect we will always picture Jay with his slighty smashed hat on rolling his toothpick from one corner of his mouth to the other as he gave the intro. to the next Wizard's song.
God's blessings on you and yours now and in the days to come.

Dear Libby, I was sadden to hear of your husband's death. I remember him as a brave and gracious man attending those Holiday Parties. He made a wonderful impression. I can only image how you enriched each others lives. I hope you and your combined families find comfort in remembering his life. Love, Pat Neaton

Deepest sympathies from the entire "Spring Sing" family. Libby, you and the whole family are in our thoughts and prayers and we treasure all the special memories that Jay brought to each of us with his gentleness and incomparable humor. He will always be remembered among the great ones! Our condolences also to all the Colorado "Wizards" who lost a great singer and dear friend!
