I am truly sorry for your family loss. As a St. Paul Public Schools Guidance Counselor, Mr. Jay Ettinger facilitated and helped me to discover my voice, which catapulted me into becoming an urban superintendent. For this, I am exceedingly grateful to him for my career advancements. Mr. Ettinger was always respectful, fair and kind to me. I loved his caring sense of humor. I have fond memories of him as our Director of Guidance and Counseling. “Jay” will be solely missed.

God Bless, Julian Stafford, Ed. D.

Jay was one of the most caring educators I ever knew. He kept working longer just to help more kids. He also had a great sense of witty humor. RIP, buddy.

Jay was a dear friend at the bridge table. He was brilliant, funny and always lit up the room. He told stories of growing up on Laurel with Irish families as neighbors. It was a privilege to know him.

I want Jeanne Ettinger to know she has my sympathy for her loss and the loss experience of this family. Jeanne is greeted as my friend and colleague. Milt was most valuable mentor and colleague.

I loved laughing with Mr. Ettinger and hearing his booming voice. He made all the guys laugh and was always curious what was going on in our lives. You had a wonderful father Mark and Steve!
