Jay R. Flaxman

R.I.P. JAY

Dear Mrs.Flaxman, David, Jenny, Paul and Rachael,
I want to send my condolences to all of you for the loss of Mr. Flaxman. As a friend of Jenny's, he was one of the fathers who really was fun with us! What great times we had going to the Record Hunter and being able to stand behind the counter and act cool like we owned the place!! Remember this was the 60s, so we saw lots of interesting people come in!!
Of course later when I rode the Minnibus, and it was a MAJOR mode of transportation for us... it was great to see Mr. Flaxman's smiling face greeting us as we got on and off.
His bright smile and good nature will be forever etched in my memories of growing up. My best to all of you-
Jane Davidson Ams

I had so many memories and wonderful times with Jay....camping,holidays, volleyball, etc. We enjoyed hours of friendly banter and sports conversations. I will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Although we have never met, I wanted to offer my deepest sympathies. You can turn to the Holy Scriptures for help. For Psalms 34:18 assures us that God is near to those broken at heart and saves those crushed in spirit. He will certainly comfort your heart.

Mr. Flaxman was a special guy and a patient I am not likely to forget. We loved to exchange quips as well as symptoms and advice. He so appreciated the support of his family and shared much about you. I miss him. Sinclerely, Margaret Drickamer, MD (Va Hospital)

During junior high, Jay's red and white minibus carried me from downtown to Old Mill Beach. Behind the wheel Jay was warm, paternal, teasing. Once Jay told me that he always let his kids explore and make their own mistakes, i.e. falling out of trees. As a parent, I've thought of this many times.

Rachael, did you fall out of trees? Are you glad? Do your kids?

Many thoughts-

To all of Jay's family
We have such fond memories of Jay back in the 80's we went on many campouts
together, played volleyball and went on many hiking trips organized by Jay.
He was fun to be with and so knowledgeable.
He is a very dear man and will be greatly missed.
Our prayers are with you all.

My heart is aching for the entire Flaxman family. I feel honored and blessed to have met and spent just a little bit of time with Jay and know that his family loved and adored him.

My dear old friend, Jay. What fond memories I hold of our days driving the mini-buses in Westport. I always enjoyed our conversations because Jay was such a wise man of vast interests and knowledge. Of course, he always had a book with him. It's so sad to lose Jay too soon. My deepest sympathy goes to his children, Anne, his grandchildren and his great-grandchildren. Rest in peace, Jay
