Kathy, Juhani an I were so surprised to read about Jays passing. Since we moved, we have lost touch with a lot of our SPC friends. I remember the Sunday he gave the opening devotional at SS and said he hadn´t prepared anything. He started by spiritually relating to the bush that was outside the gym window and elaborated from there! It was really a great devotional and came from the heart. Our deepest condolences to you and your family. I know he will be missed, he was one of a kind. ...

We´re going to miss Jay at the Mathews house & at the beach by boat.

Happiness doesn't exist but only moments of happiness and it is good to accumulate them and live them in order to have good memories. We hope the happy moments with Jay will be your strength and happiness in the years to come. Please receive our deepest condolences. Nick and Genie St. George

My sincere condolences to all the friends and family of Mr. Lawler. I met Jay in 2020, since then he bestowed an incredible amount of knowledge to myself and those around me. He was an excellent businessman and had a wonderful caring soul to everyone he encountered. Jay will be truly missed.

I knew we were undefeated but "unscored on?" I remember Coach saying " we are going to get so good at this end around sweep play we are going to be able to tell the other team it is coming and they will not be able to stop us." The first play of the first game of the season we ran the sweep from the 50 for a touchdown. That is amazing. I remember those days fondly. R.I.P Coach.

So sorry to hear of Jay´s passing! He stayed at Sharon when he came to the Clifton Forge High School Reunion several years ago! Larry and I still live in the house we built with Jay´s plans! Nonie Joan Rule,loved your family! Both mom & Dad passed away at age 94 and had great times with the Lawlers!

I didn't know you were ill old buddy but I can't be too far behind you, however I'm healthy now. We really enjoyed the many golf trips and tournaments . Hope you took your golf clubs with you. R.I.P. old friend. Charlie and I send our condolences to the family...
