Deb and Family,

So sorry about the sudden loss of Jay. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. For the short amount of time that I got to spend with Jay he surely will never be forgotten. He was quick witted and never short of words especially about his "beloved" Packers... I will always remember the hearty laugh and smile. Coby Burslie
