Jay was a good person, to all that knew him. I met him on Mar22,1989 at Scotty.
He was a hard working man. He was a very smart person, he didn't show it but it was there, in him. Jay was living pay day to pay day like all of us at Scotty. His wealth came unexpected to him. He deserved every cent. I didn't know how bad his health was, he didn't talk about it. We talked once a month, March 3rd was supposed to be the next phone call to him. He loved his new truck and the old one too. I'm going to miss his voice and him too. He made sure to write a will and what he wanted to be done, about his estate. That's Jay, all about the details. Like he knew, what was going to happen ? I live on the other side of Canada and flying to Victoria is a long trip. Jays funeral, would be something I wouldn't miss. The family made a decision and that's how it goes. I have one less friend in this world, so sad to hear about his death. Good-bye Jay (Jess) I will remember you as a good friend to me. Your friend Walter, Love you Jay.

Dear Jay
It´s been a few days to process your passing,
after over 40 years of a great friendship there is a big void in my heart & being...
I´m gonna miss talking to you or rather miss listening to you talk about the ups & downs & ins & outs of life´s journey.
I´m glad you got to experience early retirement & that you got to feel like a King for more than a day .
& in you´re own words,
( " $$$K " me I´m rich !! )
You were a good man with a big heart & had a soft spot for animals your loyal companions for most of your life.
Not one for the crowds,
You seemed most comfortable around Mother Nature.
My sincere condolences to your family, friends & mother Florence .
Rest in peace Jay
&
Shine on

I was saddened to hear of Jay´s passing. Jay and I grew up in the old Wishart school area.
Like many people from those early years we lost touch over time but in recent years reconnected through Facebook.
Over the years we have had conversations and it was always nice to catch up. Jay thought the world of his family as he often spoke about them to me. He was so proud of his home he had recently purchased, where he enjoyed painting and developing a real interest in gardening as he made it his own.
Once in a while jay would send a joke -sometime they made me laugh, and other times... well not so much. Lol. But that was Jay!
Jay will be remembered fondly by those that knew him. My sincere condolences to his family.

Same grad class from Dunsmuir High School. Had the odd FB exchange with Jay over the years. Saw his updates with regard to his house, new truck and lunches with his Mom.
Shocked to see he has passed.
RIP Jay

I knew Jay in high school. His love of family was very apparent with every story he told. He was a very kind man - I´m sending my condolences to his family and friends.

Pam and I went to school with Jay from grade 8 to grade 12 at Dunsmuir High. He was a very good guy who did have a great sense of humour. He had a great shoulder shaking chuckle and loved to chat. Out of the blue last year he called us up and we all talked about our time together at school, and where we were in life today. I am glad Jay was able to have some retirement and he seemed to love his new place. He will be missed. Our sympathies to his family.

I worked alongside Jay for several yearsand soon realised his demeanour hid a joyous sense of the absurd. He both mused about, and was amused by, the to and fro of the day to day.
He loved his family and his island home (he seldom was away from it).
