Leslie:
We recently moved out of CT and when we came home for Christmas I read the CT Post for the first time in months. I was so shocked and saddened to read about the loss of your husband. You and your family are in my prayers. I am so very sorry.

To the family of Jay Buckens,
I am very sorry to hear of the sudden loss of Jay. My Prayers and
Goodwill are with you,always.
I will always remember Jay as a close trusted friend both personally and in business. He spoke often of the love and concern for his family. We shared many common interests we did talk two weeks before his passing. It was a good conversation and I always thought we would talk again after the Holidays were over. I will miss Jay very much and I am always available to help if needed. God Bless.
