Have such wonderful memories of both Jay and Vi from Our Lady of Lourdes, Father Pat Martin and Marriage Encounter. And Jay was the best usher around; he knew if someone was new and always made them feel so welcome. May he now rest in the eternal peace of Christ.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Jay was a wonderful man. I have so many fond memories of both Vie and Jay over the years at OLOL's. He had a great memory and could tell me with great detail about events and persons he knew. He is missed.

Jackie & Family: Each one of us must let the hand go of someone that we love to someone that we have not yet met. The memories that they leave behind is what love is made of. Our prayers are with you during this difficult time.

Jackie, I was quite sad to read today about the passing of your Dad. I remember all the times at your kitchen table having him beat me in cards. It was like magic watching him play and beat me. Please take care and know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Dear Jackie, Jaylyn and family,
We are sorry for the lost of your dad, and grandfather. I always, enjoyed talking to him, when we lived in Ledyard. He always had a smile on his face, and loved to talk about his family.

Dear Jackie and family,
Your Dad was a wonderful, loving man. He brought a smile (an a giggle) to my face every day that I spent with him during my time at the Ledyard Senior Center. May you be at peace knowing he is now at home with his lovely Vi. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
