Dear Phyllis
I just happened upon this and I am deeply sorry to see it.
Please accept my sincere sympathy. Had I known I would have attended his service.
Jay was a wonderful wonderful teacher to my students and they really loved him. His assistance in teaching Math to some of my students was invaluable to me and a tremendous help to them. His chocolate chip cookies were amazing and legendary. I am better and so grateful for having known him. In this small world he was also a teacher to my amazing dentist Dr Joseph Venneri. You and your family will be in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Jay's passing; was a patient of his and his Dads my whole life; feel like a family member has passed. Always looked forward to conversations and catching up he truly loved his family and always had funny story about the grandkids. A life well lived ....

Jay was one of 11 boys in the graduating class of 28 at Moorestown Friends School in 1958. A member of an undefeated soccer team. A great classmate and good friend. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Phyliss and family. Bill Teale

Jay and I were classmates at Moorestown Friends School for eleven years, starting in 2nd grade. We all went our different ways after graduation but I shall always remember him as a smiling quiet friend.

I am deeply sorrowed by your loss. Jay and I shared a special bond sharing memories of the close friendship my mother had with his mother. I will miss our conversations in the hardware store. My thoughts are with you at this time of mourning.
