To Mrs. Emerick and family,
I just found Jay's obituary online today. I am so shocked to know of his passing. I only met Jay one time in person but we talked on the phone and emailed quite often. He had such a dry since of humor, he always made me laugh when I was having a bad day. He wrote me poems and sent them to me. He was always sending me jokes and songs from youtube. I could tell from talking to him that he loved his family very much. He talked about his life on the farm and how much he enjoyed working with his dad each day. He admired his dad very much and still missed him. Jay lived a very interesting life and I heard most of the stories of that life. He loved sitting on the patio at Linda's and he loved her three dogs. He was a true outdoor person. He enjoyed living by the marsh and watching the wildlife. He enjoyed feeding the birds and watching them. He liked cooking and we talked about food all the time. I am so sad that his life ended so soon. We had talked about having a life together one day after I retired from my job. I want you all to know that I am so sorry. I will miss his deep voice and laughter and all his stories. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Tim and I were good friends in college, as we both pursued Animal Science degrees. Our paths crossed many times since. I will always appreciate the assistance he offered when he was working for the state as a feed inspector. He was very helpful in two occasions where his knowledge, sincerity and professionalism were very much appreciated. My sympathies to the family.

Dear Virginia and family,
Words fail me to express my sympathy to you all. It seems that "I'm so sorry" is not enough and yet what more is there to say.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all during the difficult time.
Peace to all of you.
