Jay Ross MacMahon

Joe and Karen Kessel with Jay at his 70th birthday party in Sleepy Hollow.

Jay was good friends with my late husband Joe since when they were both 7 years old in Mill Valley, 2 months apart in age. They shared many memories of Park School and Tam High, where my uncle George coached. They reconnected in the last several years and I got to know him and Gloria. Condolences to Charlie and Paul, and please let me know when the memorial service is to be held. I'd like to pay my respects.

A warm and wonderful man. The knowledge of his field was deep, with the highest integrity. I treasure memories of lunch and dinners with Jay and Gloria. Jay´s life experiences in Marin ran through the decades. A life well lived. My love to his beautiful family. His memory will always be in my heart.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Jay and I were both Tam High freshman in 1944, and a neighbor just three doors away in Sleepy Hollow. I had the pleasure of his friendship with Gloria, including times at their Marshall vacation home. Our days at Tam were a "Golden Age." When WWII ended most of the Tam classes went to the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge to witness the Pacific Fleet returning home. The ships passed under us, and we waved. When we looked out into the Pacific as far as one could see on that overcast January...

Condolences to my cousins Kathleen, Moira and Carl. In addition to his many professional accomplishments, your father was a warm and congenial man, an excellent storyteller, and a truly fine uncle. May our good God grant his soul eternal rest, and send his Holy Spirit to console you and your children.
