Mavis, My heart go out to you and your family. Jay was my boss for 18yrs at Continental Repair center and one of the best. He was one of the kindest people I know. I remember at Christmas time he would bring that cookie tray to work and every one would grab those wonderful date cookies you made. My prayers go out to you Mark,Kathy and Drew and their families.

Mavis, My heart goes out to you and your family at this difficult time. Jay was one of my first bosses I had out of high school. Working with him at Continental Cablevision was always a joy. I'll never forget you all having us to your home and putting up with all of us young people and what a great cook you are! He was so good-natured I wished I had more bosses like him in my life. I try to be the boss that he was to my employees. May he be with the light of the Lord.
