Will always remember this gentle man and his contagious laugh.

I was sorry to hear of Jay´s passing my condolences go to his family. May his spirit live on in the lives of those he loved and in the works of art he created.

I first new Jay when I was tending bar at Mr. Toot's Olde English Coffee House, down the street from the jewelry shop, and where I worked with Martha. Jay made my and my husband's wedding rings--very simple, very beautiful. Jay could always crack me up. I'm sad he's gone and send love to Martha....

I will remember Jay Latta through his work with all things that sparkle and shine, he was great with customers and fantastic with detail and making beautiful out of just ok. His legacy will live on in fine remembrances.
Thank you and my best to his family. Aileen

Sorry to hear the news. Yes, Jay was a true Renaissance man, no doubt about it. I had the increbile pleasure of knowing his grandfather Frank, who used to own the Gazos Ranch. When I met Frank, I could see where Jay got his spirit for both truly followed the passions in life. My thoughts and prayers go out to Fred and to Jay's entire family.
