Jay Thrall

Jay and I went to Grade school at infant Jesus of Prague, spent time at OFCC occasionally, and met up again after highschool at WIU. Jay was always smiling, kind and just a great guy. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. My heart breaks for his wife Polly. His children, and the Thrall family. I will keep you all in my prayers.

On behalf of the HF High School Viking alumni community, we offer our most heartfelt sympathies to the Thrall Family during this difficult time.

Can't believe I'm writing this Jay, you were an inspiration to many and will be greatly missed. My condolences to the family and those that knew him. Jay always had a smile on his face and went out of his way to help you. One other thing I remember about Jay is there was never a "quick" conversation with him, you better have 30 minutes to an hour if he needed to chat. See you in heaven my friend.
