We met Jay at Crider's Church. In fact the first Sunday that we visited back in 1999, it was Jay who warmly welcomed us and strongly influenced our decision to attend regularly. Jay and Joanne supported the kid's activities/ministries in many ways. After one visit to their farm, probably working on a parade float, Jay sold us a couple of goats! We will never forget that warm welcome and handshake. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I have many childhood memories of Jay with your family at the farm, with soccer & Criders events. I considered him super special and always enjoyed when I got a chance to see him over the years. You are all in my thoughts.
