Read MoreI am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He hired me in to American Seating. He took big chance on me but hired me anyway. He supported me and my second profession, the Michigan National Guard. ran into him a few times after he left Seating and he always remembered me. I haven't seen him in years but I will miss him.

I am sorry to get word that Jay has passed. A true example of a man of faith and family! He was a great role model to grow up with and I will always be thankful for that. We spent time in the same tool and die field and would cross paths on occasion. I always had to keep one eye open for him sneaking up on me! A heart felt loss and will keep Ruthann and family in my thoughts and prayers.
