Not sure what to say?

Grew up reading Jay's books. Thank you for the laughs.

I love jay very much
A huge part of my career.
He was the best

Was thinking about our fun playing at the field of dreams in Iowa you were the best a great coach the week of playing in there on the movie, set of Field and dreams with Randy Hudley‘s fantasy camp being the only woman there at the camp you treated me respected dignity and gave me my 15 minutes of glory. I live in Orange County California multiple times Seeing you as a guest at the Frank and sons collectible show signing your book, it’s sad to hear your passing due to the COVID-19
You...

I just found out about the passing of Jay. Had great times with his visits to PA. No better guy to have as a friend. You are missed brother.

Thank you for your books. I literally laughed out loud reading them. Your baseball oriented comedy was truly original and everlasting.

Dear Mary Jayne... I am deeply sorry for the loss of your dear Dad, Jay. Just today I was remembering old Phillies, and sharing stories with my husband. I recalled your Dad's name and decided to look him up. It was a shock to learn about how Covid took his life. As a kid, my family had season tickets to the Phillies and so during those games when your Dad was on the field, he became an icon for me! Peace and blessing to you! Mitzi Adams, CT.

RIP SIR. ENJOYED WATCHING YOU PLAY BASEBALL

Enjoyed his years as a Dodgers and he definitely was a Prankster. Remember the dragging the infield with Reuss and I thought Mickey Hatcher was one of the four.

A friend of 65 years.
