PopPop was the best PopPop there could´ve been. As his youngest grandchild, 25 years will never feel like long enough with you in my life. He brought so much love and joy into everyone´s lives. He taught me patience and how to make anything fun. There will never be another ice cream lover like him. I´m incredibly grateful that I got you as my grandfather and got to see that big smile my whole life. I will miss you like crazy, a big part of our family is gone. Thank you for all of the memories and all of the dollars to spend in the arcade on the boardwalk. I know grandma and uncle jay were waiting for you. Y´all are finally together again, a love like no other. Life is different down here without yall but knowing there´s no pain anymore brings comfort to me and the whole family. I love you PopPop and I´ll miss you forever.

I don´t remember meeting Uncle Jay, but I do have a few vague memories of being the Flower Girl when he married Aunt Bonnie. My dad was in the military so we never spent as much time with my Aunt, Uncle and cousins, as we would have liked. I remember Uncle Jay as being a big tall man with a very big (loud) voice....and always laughing, even when he was yelling! Being a kid in Uncle Jay and Aunt Bonnie´s house was always fun. The year my dad was in Vietnam and we lived with my Grandma; Uncle Jay took care of 2 families. My Mom and Grandmother could always count on Uncle Jay for anything. He took us to the movies to see the Jungle Book and was our babysitter when my Mom needed one. My father knew his family would be well taken care of, while he was away. My Mom and Dad loved telling the story of the hankie and the car wax....much too long to write here. I have always had a special place in my heart for Uncle Jay, and I always will. I even forgive him for calling me the bad seed when I was little : ) He loved his family dearly, and I´m blessed to have been a part of his family. RIP Uncle Jay, I love you.

My sister-in-law Kathy and I share the same feeling about our in-laws- I am so eternally grateful to have had two amazing individuals that I truly loved! 'Big Jay' welcomed me into this family with such kindness and acceptance. He always called me 'DonnaBanonna' and whenever there was a big discussion where a decision needed to be made- like what to have/or order for dinner - we'd look at each other thinking it's not a big deal just order a chicken sandwich- and then he'd say that's because we're Capricorns- make a decision and move on LOL. Thank you Bonnie and Mike for making my world bigger and the joy of enjoying all the options in life :) 'Big Jay' filled a part of my heart that will always remind me of the special things in life that are so easy to neglect when life gets busy! He was always described as a strong, tuff, no-nonsense man with a priority of taking care of his family! And he certainly was that- but he was also a gentle, kind soul who appreciated the beauty of simple things... I was never a great fan of opera or classical music, but through Big Jay I came to appreciate it's beauty and sorrow! Taking quiet time to just be- to think and be still. Special moments to look at the great wonders that make up our world - the big smile and interest he had in watching children as they played or interacted with him, clouds, beautiful birds, massive trees, the ocean! He got so much joy and peace in those quiet moments, sometimes just sitting together for a long time without too many words- but the words he said were heartfelt. He was a fierce protector of his family and his love deep- although he was a man of few words or outward 'mushy' expressions. His great loves- Bonnie his wife, his five children and extended family, ice cream, bananas, and music are just a few---even in the later years the simple things made such a comforting, content experience for him! I have been honored to have had him living close by for many years and I will miss seeing those blue eyes light up and his sweet smile, but he's in my heart every day!

My favorite memory - Some time in the last year or two, we were at a family gathering. Mike came trough and massaged Jay's neck/shoulder muscles. Jay said "Get away from me!" After Mike walked out of the room, Jay turned to face me and said "He does that all the time and I LOVE it!"

I have been truly fortunate to have had in-laws that I loved. Mr. Seering (Jay/Papoo/Grandpa/PopPop) really was a father to me. When I was a teenager we would watch TV together. Twin Peaks was a big one. Once he retired we would go to lunch or go shopping. When I had kids he was the best grandfather, going to the park with us, taking us for ice cream, going to the beach and boardwalk. He would do ballet with Becca and have tea parties with her, really whatever she wanted. Daniel he would do whatever he could to get him belly laughing. Swinging Daniel high and then running under the swing. When we would leave Ocean Pines he would run along beside the car saying bye, just to get Daniel laughing. In his last days you would still him respond to us, or say no in the same tone he always had. Which made us chuckle. And he loved his ice cream till the end. We love you and will miss you immensely.
