He was a dedicated truck driver, known for his service with RCA/Thompson and later XPO Logistics (formerly CCX/Conway), where he worked diligently to support his family.

In addition to his professional achievements and family devotion, Jay was a member of the Elks Lodge and Country Club, where he developed a true passion for golf. An avid golfer, he proudly accomplished the feat of achieving three holes in one throughout his lifetime.
