We will all miss Jay's easy smile and gentle manner. As pleasant a gentleman as I have ever met. He is at peace with his dogs wagging their tails again, and will have a true skybox seat for all the Penn State games. May Clare be granted peace and comfort until they meet again.

Mr. Hoffman was my favorite Math teacher. I had him for 8th grade Pre Algebra back in 1976. Rest in Peace Mr. Hoffman.
