Jay M. Brandow

Jay was an original, a true renaissance man with so many skills and talents. Gone too soon. Peace and love,Cactus Jack, and I hope there isn´t at metal detector at the pearly gates.Doubt you´ll be permitted in with that piece stuffed in your boot. Tom Sussi

Jay's Dear Ones: A love for life, honest, and always a smile, I've known Jay since 1970. We made a pact: if were weren't married by 50, we would marry each other. You always had to be first! See you on the other side. Thank you for sharing Jay with everyone.

It was sad news to discover Jay´s passing. He and his contemporaries made WNEM TV5 the best in the business. Jay was a reporter you immediately trusted and always enjoyed hearing him laugh. His time at WNEM will always be known as the Golden Years to me. Our deepest condolences to Jay´s loved ones, family, friends, and professional friends. He will be missed.

My mom would cook a great meal that I would take to the station and spend time with him at WRIF. We ate while he did his broadcast. We spent time together at his moms house in bay city hanging out in the basement looking at junk. Jay was a special friend. We had a lot in common. I remember the great discussions we had on my front pouch in Keego Harbor. I cherish the file he sent me of "the captains chair" prior to having it published. I miss Jay. Rest In Peace brother

Our deepest sympathies to you all. Jay was a wonderful and talented man and he is already greatly missed. Many fond memories. Blessings, peace and comfort to you all.

RIP My friend. I will never forget you Jay. Thank you for your friendship and taking me under your wing all those years ago.

Dear Family, I am so sad knowing that Jay has passed away. Blessings to you all during this time of loss, knowing that with our faith in Jesus Christ, we will see Jay again. Much Love, Suzy Eberhard Brown

Peggy and family, I was so sorry to see this. Much sympathy to you.

Jay was a life long friend, a truly great guy. He got me over being nervous in front of a camera with all the interviews he did with me at Mulligans. I will really miss our conversations and sly smile.
