Not sure what to say?

I served as a juror on the Grand Jury when John was a prosecutor on the Jury. John was always efficient and fair. There never was a doubt he was in charge. I'm very saddened to find out he died. His presence was always a pleasure to be around.

I knew and worked with Jay at the County Prosecutor's Office. He was a diligent, effective, and hard working prosecutor. My deepest sympathy to his family and many friends. Timothy Lea

I remember fourth grade basketball, Jay was the best player, even against the taller boys (I was a work in progress)... our young adult (we were all works in progress) days in Parma Parks softball... State Rd Park, Nike Park and our favorite Miller Park. Jay & Kathleen visiting me in Phoenix and Spring Training fun... I will miss you. Way, way too soon... ugghhh...

When we weren't laughing about life...

Pat, Mike and Colleen - so very sorry for your loss. We know your mom and dad were there to welcome these two special brothers! You and the whole family remain in our prayers. Colleen and John Cooney

My condolences to Jay's family. I worked with Jay at the prosecutors office and he was "just a great guy". Prayers for Jay and his family.
