Dear Family and Friends of Jay,
I've known Jay since we were kids and worked for him at his real estate business in Holyoke. He was a great guy! Always friendly, kind, honest and had a swell sense of humor. His family was so important to him and he spoke of them often. We all knew he loved to fish and ride his motorcycle. I am so sorry for your loss of him.
Sincerely,
Ann
