Linda and family,
I am very sad to hear of the loss of Jay.

I remember good Saturday nites in Middletown, watching Jay fly around the track in a great car.

My mom always like to have Jay stop by our fruit stand on R 55 in Napanoch.

Mom has advised us about Jay's death.Please know that we are so saddened by Jay's passing. When we were just little kids it was great fun to have a "grown-up friend" like Jay. I can still remember "stock car 43" and, how I got to sit in that stock car, and I still have a picture of that! We were fortunate to have known Jay. Our sympathy is extended to all of his family and friends. There could never be another Jay Zanetti. God Bless you all.
