I just learned of Jay's death and am sorry. I used to go to Sunday School with him and last saw him in ~1999. He was a man of uncommon character and a gentle giant of a man. My belated condolences.

Lisa,
Meg and I were out of town over the past week and I just heard about Jay from Jerry at grand rounds. I am so sorry and I didn't even know what you were going through. Our prayers are with you and your daughter & family.

Lisa and Bekki,
My heartfelt condolences to both of you. Jay was a special person and will always be remembered as
a truelly good friend even though
we did not talk to each other regularly. The great memories of our times together at Wash U will always be with me the rest of my life. I wish only the best for the two of you.
Warmest Regards,
Steven Goldy

What a great person. He took care of me when we were schoolboys; befriended and protected me. Kind and refined.

Jay was a very special man.
He planned for the future, but enjoyed the present. He was a serious person, but saw humor in everyday life. He expressed criticism gently.
As Don observed, Jay would melt whenever Rebecca came in the room.
Once when I tried to warn Rebecca about how hard a field journalism is, he waved me away: "Let her dream." What a lovely thing for a father to say!
Of course, Jay adored everything about Lisa, strengths and weaknesses alike.
And he did not vote his pocketbook; he voted for the person he thought would be best for the nation.
Jay's life was too short. Lisa and Rebecca, I grieve for your loss. But I know you have rewarding lives ahead of you, because you are special people, too.
Love,
Jackie in White Plains

I wish we could all have the same perspective regarding life that Jay did. I believe we would be completely happy as Jay always was. It did help that he found the love of his life in you Lisa. You and Rebecca were his loves and enjoyment. It was so easy to see that. I feel wonderfully blessed that I knew Jay and feel I have gained some insight into how to silently appreciate the things in life that are most important. My prayers are with you and Rebecca to keep strong and remember those things that Jay taught us all. I am here for you if you need a friend anytime.

A friend just told me of Jay's passing. Jay lived on my floor when I was freshman at Wash U.(he was a sophomore). He was a vibrant, smart & athletic guy. He was also very kind and had a warm heart; he helped us freshman integrate into college. I am dismayed at his passing and send heartfelt condolences to Lisa (his girlfriend way back then in 1973) and Jay's family.

Jay was truly one of the kindest people I have ever known. Not only was he my cousin, but also my friend. I miss him already.

Lisa and Rebecca, there are no words that can express my heartfelt feelings for the depth of your loss. Jay was an extraordinary individual who touched so many lives in a positive way. He will be sorely missed by all of them. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Jay was not only a favorite relative but he was also a close friend. I loved our conversations and visits, finding them fun, engaging, and thought provoking. His perspective on life was much different than other people that I associate with and he provided much needed balance to my life. I gather that he brought this same balance to his work for his clients, who I am sure are extremely appreciative.
Thank you, Jay, for the good times, the advice, the questions, and for helping me see things in a different light. I'm heartbroken that you're gone but then again I still have the memories.

On behalf of the 1972 graduating class of Lindbergh High School, please accept our deepest sympathy. We were fortunate enough to see Jay at our 35th reunion this past summer. He was a wonderful man and fun to be around. We will miss him.

Dear Lisa,
You were such a strength to us during Roger's mother passing and now we are here for you and your beautiful daughter.
We know that you had a good life; no, a GREAT life with Jay. We know those memories will sustain you during this sorrowful time. My small amount of interaction with him was beyond pleasant and friendly. He was kind to me and I will remember him for that kindness.
We will pray for special help for you and your daughter and the rest of the family during this time.
With love,
Ann and Roger Weinerth
