With Joy in my heart I can say that, I will always keep his memory going. It was and forever will be a pleasure to have had you and your loving wife in my life. Will always miss our weekly breakfast when you used to drill on me and give me a good life lesson. Thank you for that. I know I am where I am now because of you. Love you Papa Jay.

A tremendous loss to all of us family members in Louisiana, but he left a legacy that will be remembered by all who knew him. He simply was one special "Jaybird."
