Jay was my best friend and how I miss you dude. I have known Jay sense third grade, we did about everyting you could think of and more. Jay had alot of hard times and good times, but even when things were bad and Jay had his share of those, he always was able to find the good in everything. He was a hard worker and didn't hold a grudge against anyone. He showed me by example how to get through things and see the good instead of the bad.
We went hunting and fishing and took our motor cycles across the country together, a trip I will never forget. Throughout all the crazy things we had been through in our lives together I had no one that I could say was a better friend then Jay. He was much more than a friend he was like a brother to me and I will never forget him.
Anyone that was fortunate to have the pleasure of meeting him would always remember his thoughtfullness and good nature. I think if you never met him then you really missed out on a great person. Jay always kept me laughing, like fishing with him and Sue and Jay falling out of the boat with nothing left on top of the water but his hat. I thought Sue and I would fall in after him because of laughing so hard; as usual Jay came up out of the water with a smile on his face.
My entire family always thought of Jay and his family as our family, not just friends. I could keep talking about Jay for hours on end and never run out of stories but for now I will just say that he will be in my heart and mind forever until we meet again. All my love to Jay's family & friends.
Love, Steve Clark

I didnt know my Mom's cousin very well, however I did get to know him a few years ago. He was a kind man who truly would do anything to help his family. I appreciate everything he did when my Gran-Gran passed away. He will be missed by all!
Love, Jerah

I met Jay at Pensacola Beach a couple of years ago. He's been like an extra dad to me, Here are two poems I wrote, one for Jay and one for Sue.
Knowing a Man
I know a great man
He's wise and always true
He's a natural born beach bum
He loved to watch the waves shimmer blue,
He loved his wife
And his 20 beach kids
He'll always watch over us
It was great, the life that he lived
He was never to cautious
But, never to free
He looked over us
And that's the way he said it would always be,
The memories we'll remember
His spirit we'll hold within
That's the way we'll keep it
That's the way it's always been
In loving Memory of Jay
Loving You
You look at him
He isn't the same
You don't want to lose him
But you don't want this pain
Your friends are here
But you feel so alone
You only want him
His hand to hold
He wont be here
But he'll never be gone
He'll be beside you
Walking along
His love that lived
Will always be true
Even if he's gone
He'll still love you
I miss you Jay

Jay was a valued member of our beach family. He was a real asset to City Hall Beachside, and everyone misses him a lot. It's impossible to gather at the beach without thinking about him. He was always friendly and helpful to friends and strangers alike. We're glad we had the opportunity to know him.

I'm Jay's cousin. I have good memories from our childhood of Jay and his family visiting us in Florida or when my family went to Indiana and how Jay would look after little sister Synde and me. That was his nature and always would be. Later on when I moved to England and was SO homesick, Jay showed up to visit me while he was on leave from military duty in Germany. Such a nice surprise and just when I needed it most. Again, just like him to be there when someone needed something.
Then a couple years ago my mother passed away and it was Jay who brought his mom and dad down to Fla. to see her in her last few days and to be a comfort to me and the rest of my family. Quiet and in the background but always there. Just like Jay.
See you over yonder, Cuz.
Love you,
Gogie II

Jay is my brother-in -law. We always had good times when we were together, anywhere, any place. I will always miss calling him, before fishing tournaments and after, to let him know how I done. He always encouraged me to "Stay on the waters and Don't give up!". Thanks for blessing you gave to me to marry your sister and how you alway's made sure our visits with you and Sue were always memorable. I know you will always fly your wings my way to be my fishing partner where ever I may be. Thank you for being a great friend and a special Brother-in-law.

Jay is my big brother who I will always love and cherish in my heart forever. His love for others and zest for life will always be remembered. His is one of few people I know who sat a goal and accomplished it in 50 short years. I will always be proud of him and know that he was proud of me. Your smile, tan and wink of those pretty blue eyes will aways be remembered. I love you bro.!

How fortunate I am to say Jay was my best friend. He was the first person I met on Pensacola Beach, and he touched my life with his kindness. Jay, I will always remember the encouragement you gave me and all the fun we had while around you. Not only did you have an impact on many lives, you made a difference in mine. Thank you for the wonderful memories. Jay you are, our hero.

We met Jay on Pensacola Beach a few years ago. We were really impressed by his kind and caring nature not only for us but for everyone no matter who they were or where they came from. Jay, we miss you terribly especially when we drive up to the beach and your truck is not in the spot that you always parked in. We will never forget you.

Jay was one of the good guys. He was always positive in his outlook on life. As his aunt, I will really miss him. I do regret never letting him know how much I respected and loved him. I hope to meet up with you in heaven. Loved you Jay.

I worked with Jesse at Inland Steel in the Coke plant for a couple of years and then several years at Thrall Car. Jesse was a good hard dependable worker. If you needed to get a job done, give it to Jesse and it got done. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Jesse's family. Jesse will truly be missed by us all. Tom & Joni

Jay was the best cousin anyone could have ever ask for, From playing with the mystery train set he had when we were kids to drag racing cars as teens, we always had a great time. His loss is immeasurable. See you later Slick, Your cousin, Tony
