My sweet friend! It´s New Years Day, 2023. I´m thinking of you along with so many cherished memories of our years singing together. You were very instrumental (terrible pun, sorry!) in recommending me to travel with Ray Conniff as a featured soloist when I was just barely 18 and too busy in college to leave.

Jay was our brother-in-law who leaves us with lots of fun memories of going to Disneyland, hearing him sing, and seeing him perform, either on TV or in person. He took me (Charlotte) to Midnight Mass one Christmas Eve when we were out there visiting because it was the first time I had been away from home for Christmas. He was kind and understanding.

I only had the pleasure of meeting Jay once and was honored to do so. It was unfortunately after the death of his wife, Whom I had only knew as Ducky! Although I married into her family years ago we never had the chance to meet. Matt and I have the twins and one is the spitting image of Ducky! The stories we've heard from all of Jim's boys and Jim tells the tale of a magnificient man who will be dearly missed and Cherrished. All our love go's out to you Evy, May God be with you!
