Not sure what to say?

So sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you and your family.

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.

Clare, my sincere condolences on your loss.

I met Jay when I was wrestling for Tamaqua in the 1970´s. Just a great guy and very interested in teaching . You could tell that he loved that vocation. A very kind man. God bless his soul...

My deepest sympathy in the passing of Jay. We graduated together from Coaldale High. He was a good friend and all-around nice guy. I am saddened by this news.

My sincere condolences go out to you Clare . May he have ever lasting life and may his soul rest in peace with the lord forever. R.I.P. JAY

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

Dear Clare and family, Words cannot express how truly sorrow I am on the passing of Jay. He was one of the nicest people I knew, dedicated, ambitious and loyal. His friends in PASR will truly miss him. Know you are in my thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
