My Uncle Jay was one of the dearest people on the planet. He was the soulmate to his dear wife, Jean, for their whole marriage. Their care of and for each other was lovely to behold. He had a way of everyone feel special whenever we were together, and his voice just radiated love when chatting on the phone. He had an infectious smile that infused his being. He loved a good joke, and his teasin, and his genuine laughter made every encounter a delight. His birthday often fell on or near Thanksgiving, and every one hence, he'll be on my mind. The whole family will miss him dearly. Our hearts especially go out to Aunt Jeanie, and to Bruce and Linda who provided such loving care particularly in Jay's last years.
