Aunt Carol, Uncle Jerry, Kim, David, Jae, Laura & family,

Our deepest sympathies go out to you all in this difficult time. Thoughts & prayers will be with you as you continue to cope with the loss of our handsome & charismatic Uncle Jay. Grateful for the memories & good times dad & I got to share with him & all of you in January this year. Especially when he asked me to teach him how to "twerk"! (I have it on video!! **big smiles**!!) And when he showed us how the cat loved to be "beaten" by him!! That was hysterical! These are the memories I'll keep close to my heart forever.
Love & Prayers Always,
Kristen, Brent, Evan, Aiden, & Aryia xoxoxo

My family were friends with Jay in the 1960's. He was such a gentleman. My younger sister (10 years younger than us had such a "crush" on him ) he was always a true friend. Know that our thoughts an prayers are with all of you. He leaves an empty space in our world.
