Jay lived with us a few years when I was young. He was working in Jersey & going back to Pennsy on the weekends to see Pat, who was then his girlfriend. One of my sweetest memories of him was the time I was in the hospital when I was four. My father would leave work & rock me to sleep every night but Jay would also come & comfort me by rocking me in the rocking chair. A young man taking time out of his busy life to comfort a child. Earth's loss is Heaven's gain. I pray for healing for his family.

I grew up with all my cousins on both sides of my family, and enjoyed close family ties with them. On my father's side, I used to play with Jan and Judy and Rosemary often. Jay was a hero of mine-loved him dearly. Loved his gorgeous collie dog too. His mom was like a guardian angel to me and his Aunt Jean and Aunt Theresa remained really close to us even after my parents divorced. Jay had a great way of discussing family issues as well as memories, and I will forever miss him. So sorry for the loss of him to Pat and Richard and Patricia and his grandchildren, all who were deeply loved by him.
