Jay Slind Obituary
Jay L. Slind
Jay Slind passed away peacefully at home on May 4, 2023. Jay was born in Menomonie, WI on Feb. 11, 1955 to Douglas and JoAnn (Prim) Slind.
Jay grew up in Boyceville, WI. He graduated from Boyceville High School in 1973.
Jay joined the Air Force in 1973. He served his country for 3 years, including time spent stationed in Thailand.

After six years living in Dallas, he returned to Wisconsin and eventually moved to La Crosse where he spent the rest of his career with Trane Corp.
Everyone who knew Jay will remember his love for the game of golf, as both a participant and a spectator. He'll be remembered for his prized possession, his vintage Red Corvette. And how much he enjoyed traveling and spending time in his Skamp trailer.
