While it was too late to attend the Celebration of his life, Bill reminisced of the many good times he had working with Jay at Cotter Electric while Jay was serving his apprenticeship. He so enjoyed Jay and his zest for life and has many fond memories of him. We are so sorry for your loss.

Grandpa, you made such an impact in so many peoples lives and i feel thats what gives us so much fulfillment in our lives. At the celebration of you and your life we, your family, got to hear and see just how much you were loved and looked up to by others other than us..we were forced to do nothing but celebrate you which was exactly what we all needed to do. You were of great men who will be greatly missed. i wish i could hug you at least one last time but i know you are well taken care of in a much better place. Can't wait to see you again one day. love you and you are in my heart forever!
