James Wesley Huguely

How wonderful to have known and worked with Jay for so many years....he influenced many for sure with his talent and most importantly his kindness and unbelievable work ethic as is apparent reading his obituary. Will forever think of Jay...forever!

Mary,

Jay and I discovered far back genealogical ties in Madison County, Kentucky, and we spent a great deal of time through the last years piecing together by telephone and e-mail messages our kinships there. One day a picture of John Huguely's famous vest from the 1840s that had been exhibited at the Richmond, KY Centennial appeared in my mailbox. Jay had gone to great effort to photograph it for me in the right light. We never did meet face to face, and that is a shame. Your...

Dear Mary,
We are holding you in the light on this difficult day as you memorialize your most remarkable husband. We only wish that we had known him. Sending hugs and love across the country. Hope we can see you in Minneapolis in June.

Dear Mary,

We always thought Jay was quite a character, but didn't realize how true that really was. The world is a little lonelier without him.

Mary Dear,
Thank you so much for your call alerting me to find this loving tribute. I am sure you must truly miss the man who was such an important part of your life for so many years.
Although I only knew 'OF' him, and never had the pleasure of knowing him personally, it is obvious that the happiness you shared was a rare gift. Hold onto that as you continue to treasure those wonderful memories.
Love always,

Mary,
Thank you so much for sharing Jay's life story with us. I will always treasure the times spent with Jay and you and your dear cats and dog when you had all of us over. Jay was the perfect host as you are hostess.

Mary Dearest,

Your tribute to Jay is wonderfully written, profoundly moving in its depiction of his talents, career and persona. Jay comes through beautifully, and I'm sure he would have been proud of you, as I am for giving us this opportunity to reflect on the many ways he touched our lives. Thank you, sweetheart.

Love,

My mother, Jayne, and I met Jay through his wife Mary(a high school classmate of mine) in California many years ago, and we had
many memorable times with them at their
house. It was such a pleasure to get to
know him. He was a wonderful man.
We will always remember him.
