Not sure what to say?

Our hearts and sympathies go out to Jay and his family. May he rest in peace.

I was so sorry to hear of Jay's passing...he was our Maui Jim Rep & we always liked when he came by...

Lisa and family, everyone at my office was so saddened to hear of Jay's passing. He was great at his job and more importantly a compassionate, trustworthy man. We are al so sorry for your loss and he will be missed here at In Vision Eye care Center.

I met Jay a few years ago when I began the RCIA process at MQP. He was an inspiration to me. He had a positive attitude and spirit that made him someone people wanted to be around and emulate. Incredibly nice man. I regreted that I did not get to know him better but always looked forward to seeing him at mass where I'd go out of my way to make eye contact and wave hello. He always had a big smile for me. One of the coolest people I've ever met. To his wife and children, I am so sorry...

Obermark Optometry morns the loss of a dear friend, Jay. Jay was our optical industry Maui Jim Rep for many years. During this time, Jay developed a most meaningful relationship with Obermark Optometry & was loved very much by us. We remember him as a vibrant man who took pride in his family, friends and work. He eluded the Aloha spirit and never backed away from lending a helping hand. He will be extremely missed! We are very - very saddened by his death - we just cried. Please know that we...

Jay was family: He will be missed. There will eventually be a new Maui Jim rep, but Jay can never be replaced. Jay was always there for us, helped us out, and was at every event we ever held during or after business hours. Beyond that, he was a friend who we looked forward to chatting with whenever he came by. We would talk about our families (Rosie and Casey 2011 WGHS), riding bikes, or whatever came up. There's a big hole in all of our hearts.

Lisa and family, I can not imagine how you feel. Jay was loved by many and was never hesitant to help wherever he could. He always spoke highly of you and your children and was proud of you all. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Lisa, Cameron, Rosie and Maria,
Thinking of you each and everyday. Nothing I'm going to say is anything new. Your Dad Loved you all so much. Kids even though I wasn't lucky enough to meet you I felt I knew you. And Lisa you were always in our conversation when I would see Jay, you were his foundation and soulmate.
I worked with Jay at Luxottica and Safilo, then when I opened my own place in Effingham he called on me there. Jay simply was a man that could relate to everyone and always...

Lisa and Family, Words cannot convey the sadness we feel over the sudden loss of Jay, So many memories of the times your family and Kim's spent together. Jay was a dedicated Father and Husband, with a gentle soul...His kind smile, great sense of humor, and loving heart will not be forgotten...
God Bless, Kevin and Kelley Kersten
