Read MoreJay was a man of many talents and one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I had the privilege of being his neighbor for many, many years and you could not ask for a better family. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Jesus said it was necessary for Him to leave, so that He could prepare a place for us, a mansion in heaven. I guess He needed a good draftsman to help out with the details. Jay will be greatly missed, and we’ll see him again soon. We have that promise.

Jay was a co worker of mine. He always had a smile on his face and joked around even when he wasn't feeling well. His spirits were always high and uplifting. I could always count on a "hello, good morning" from Jay, sometimes even if it was a handwriten note. He brought much laughter to our office and will be missed dearly.

Jay and I worked together as Draftsmen in the steel fabrication industry. He was such a daily inspiration to me and our co-workers with that smile, casual sense of humor and a work ethic that made him a stand out professional. This is such a loss to everyone he has ever been familiar with. My prayers are with his family.
