My deepest sympathy in this tragic lost. I worked with Jey through Sprint and found him to be very professional, kind, knowledgeable and caring. I knew him for many years and he placed his family first, the most important thing to him. May God embrace him in his arms and hold him tight. Jey fought the good fight, he finished the course and he kept the faith.

Jey
We were instant friends from the very first days at Southern Pacific
communications (Sprint)and remained
close communications for all the 32 years at work. You have left a void in my heart. I know you are at peace and that will help as I go on from here. Thank you for being my friend. I will think of you often, and will talk with our friends about the good that you brought to our lives. Rest easy and we will talk again at a future time.

Jey was one of the coaches on my oldest daughter's first soccer team in 1991 and he was awesome. Jey was a giving and generous man and encouraged a lot of kids from way back and, from reading these notices, he encouraged a lot of adults as well. What a fine person. Please accept our condolences and bless you all.

Words fail to convey my deep sorrow for your loss. I pray your strong faith will lessen your pain. The humble Rosary Prayer, below, is of the ancient promise of all Christianity, for your strength:
Deus, cujus Unigenitus per vitam, mortem et resurrectionem suam nobis salutis aeterne praemia comparavit: concede, quaesumus; ut, haec mysteria sanctissimo beatae Mariae Virginis Rosario recolentes, et imitemur quor continent, et quod promittunt, assequamur. Per eumdem Dominum. Amen.

Jey,
You were my first supervisor back in 1981 in San Francisco one market plaza.I remember the Oakland A's were doing really well that year and Billy Martin was there manager. That's when you started calling me Billy Ball.
Thanks for the support.
I'll miss you.
