Not sure what to say?

As I was looking up articles in my scrap book along with Steve Marcon I realized our golf team was the first team in CHS history to win the GK golf tournament! We were blessed to have had Jay for a coach. He was demanding of sportsmanship and very dependable as a leader, teacher, and coach. A fine man and someone I will always remember.

I was on Jays golf and tennis teams that qualified for state in 1977. We had so many great times. Our tennis team went from one conference win in 76 to State qualifier´s in 77. I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay in 2020 and we shared so many stories. Bless him and his family. Rest well for a job well done! You will be missed but never forgotten.

I always admired Jay as a good person and dedicated educator. He made a difference in the lives of so many because he cared so much. Anyone who knew him is blessed. I hope memories will sustain and comfort Judy, his family and friends.

I am so sorry for your loss, just know he is safe in the arms of Jesus and you will see him again some day.

Deepest sympathy to Judy and family!

Jay was a great teacher, coach, athletic director and friend. His kindness and caring was evident in all he did. We had many great after the game get together over the years which I will always remember with a smile. May your light shine on in all you touched. My love goes out to Judyand family.

A wonderful teacher

Mr. Stickle was a great teacher & motivator. We would bet a dime every year through high school & college on the Michigan v Ohio State game. Just a way for us to stay connected. His smile and gentle "nudging" were always a welcome sight. I didn´t want to like science, but here I am. Science is a very important part of my life. Mr. Stickle, your students loved & admired you. May you Rest In Peace. Smiling and keeping the faith! Dodi (the one you warned Mr. Crabiel to watch out for)

I am very sorry for you loss and will pray for your family during this time. As my tennis coach at Comstock H.S., not only was he a great coach but a big influence in my life during and after my high school years.
