Jay Forshaw "Jay" Rosenthal

Jay truly cared for people. I remember him driving up to talk about his longtime connections with the Boise County community, and almost vetting my care for the community he held dear. The check ins and conversations that he had with me really showed his depth. Jay will be remembered by the lives he touched.

What a loss to so many. Condolences to Joyce and family. Jay loved his kids and was so very proud of his grandchildren. Jay was a friend and mentor. An excellent attorney. His stories were epic. His humor and wit always at the ready. Connected to so many people in law and politics. He will be missed

Jay is one of my most treasured friendships; my heart is so sad but I know he continues to be the colorful raconteur he has always been in his "new" home. Until we meet again, friend.

Jay was a good attorney and a great friend. He was a natural story teller and could light up a room with laughter. He was a mentor to many people. Rest in peace, friend.

I had several cases over the years with Jay and considered him to be the consummate gentleman and professional. I spent eight years as a prosecuting attorney and thirty-nine years in criminal defense. During the course of my career the fair minded, objective brand of prosecutor Jay exemplified became a rare species. Jay knew what a solid case looked like and, to my knowledge, never put a case to a jury unless he had considered every aspect of applicable law and facts involved. He wasn't...

Jay! I hope you are tripping the light fantastic with Bill.

Lived across from each other for many years. When it came to the end of a particularly long day, we would share a dram of fine Irish along with spirited discussions. Precious memories never forgotten. Thank you fellow traveler.

I was lucky to be able to work with Jay at the Ada County Prosecutor´s Office. He was a man of great integrity and conviction. He never shied away from difficult cases and tried them all with professionalism. We had many fishing trips to Alaska together where he consistently provided the evening´s entertainment. A good man and I miss him.

Jay, Thank you for your invaluable guidance and mentorship in helping to make me a more confident credible forensic psychologist, and a more empathetic listener The world was a better place with you in it I'll miss you
