Van Noy family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Jay Van Noy. The sad news came by way on an e-mail from Utah and I went to the Internet for confirmation and details. I cared enough for him that I knew, respected and appreciated more and more as the years passed. I saw him pla basketball at North Cache High but must admit my young age make this a limited remembrance with few details. I had a few chances to watch him play football for the Utah State Aggie and for me he was the best player on the field. At one game I can distinctly recall he broke away on a long run for a touchdown when all of a sudden he dropped the ball and without much change in his running stride the ball bounced back upward and he grabbed it and ran in for the score. I followed his baseball career through "The Sporting News" baseball stats primarily while playing if I recall correctly the team at Rochester, N.Y., but I was listening on the radio when he played a game for the St. Louis Cardinal and I was so thrilled that everything else was put on hold until the game was over. The last time I saw Jay was at my brother's funeral but his bright smile and pleasing humor and manner were again ever
present and treasured.
Jay was more than quite a guy, athlete and friend but a great human being.
Sincerely,
Larry D. Christiansen, Kernersville, N.C.

Dear Van Noy Family,
Dave and I were so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. Dave will miss seeing him @ church and walking on the Logan River Golf Course. I have many different memories of your family including the large tortoise you had. We would keep letting him out and Debbie you always took the cause of that for us. I think that the 7 of us girls did that at each of our own homes. I remember spending so much time in the "cool" basement that Jay fixed for his family and we all enjoyed. The jukebox was so great to learn dances to and I know that we all had a great time. We have had 4 deaths in our family in the last year so we kind of know what you're going through and I would advise you that everyone grieves in a different way so respect that and remember the good times you spent with Jay and don't let any negative creep in those thoughts. I will miss seeing Sue @ church because we have now moved but we wanted you all to know how much we thought of Jay.

To the extended Van Noy family: I simply ached when I read of Jay's passing. My Dad, Herm Fonnesbeck, thought the world of Jay and was so thrilled that one of his favorite "Cards" was coming to Logan to run the youth sports and recreation programs. I see my old LHS teammate and friend Steve Baugh wrote in about "Uncle Jay"...I wish I had lived in Logan longer at times (been in St. George since 1974) because I know I would have gotten to know Jay even better. As it was, I will take the memories of Jay correcting my pitching motion a bit here and there, allowing me to at least be on the level of a Logan Pony League All-Star, and while Steve Baugh may have a baseball signed by Jay, I have one of the first All-Star certificates he ever signed in his position at Logan City. I have cherished it since the evening Jay gave it to me. A genuine hero has left us...and not just me, Steve Baugh or a Jim Laub benefited from all Jay did for us...he helped kids from all parts of the valley, some who didn't even know he once ran 82 yards from scrimmage with a football, or gained 221 yards in a single game! As for me, I still love the Cardinals, partly because my Dad adored them, and mostly because I shook a real Cardinal's hand more than once. Heaven will be a better place with Jay up there, hitting lefty fungoes to those who still claim to be "The Boys of Summer,"

Van Noy Family - Sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I will never forget his loving encouragement throughout my young athletic years in Logan. He always had optimistic words to say no matter how I played. I will always remember him calling me "Lefty". He was so charitable to me. I can't count the number of times he would see me at JB's and when I went to pay the bill he had already paid it for me. I will never be forget his great kindness.

Dear Mrs. Van Noy -
As heavy tears run down from my eyes, I just found out the sad news. I am Billy Staples the kids writer for baseball n I spoke with you at your home last month. You sent me to the care center to go sit n chat with Jay. Words can't express how much fun we had n how much laughter was in the air. We took a picture together n he said he wanted to comb his hair n I insisted - I liked it being a mess n kids wear their hair a mess on a daily basis these days. I will send a copy of the picture n a copy of my best selling baseball book - Before the Glory - may these 2 things always bring a smile to your face.
Much respect n sadness - Billy Staples

Dear Sue and Family
Uncle Jay,as I always referred to him, will always be remembered in my heart for the encouragement he gave me in sports, and that handsome warm smile of his and rare humor! Jay, as a Commissioner with Logan City started the LIttle League football program 1st with Flags then grew into the full contact leagues so many in the valley have enjoyed. Jay was 1st to upgrade the little leagues with other than Levis and tea shirts (Uniforms). And many might remember Al Lewis's 1st broadcasts of sports was a Logan City Little leage All-star game from Crimson Field! Jay showed many aspiring athletes in the valley they could succeed in Major College or professional Sports. I actually own a signed Jay Van Noy
Louisville slugger Baseball Bat I'd be willing to donate to USU Trophy Case if desired? His greatest tribute is the wife (Sue) he chose and terrific and beautiful Children. I will miss Jay Van Noy an awfully lot!
In The Bonds,

Sue: Please accept my condolences on the loss of Coach Van Noy. Jay was very important in my life as a player on the 1958 BYU baseball team. The counsel and advice he gave and the example he set prepared me for professional baseball. He was the only reason I attended BYU and I enjoyed being able to see you both during our recent team reunions.
