Hi Gwynette. I was really saddened when I heard of Uncle Jr's passing. I was fortunate enough to have seen him a short time earlier, (unfortunately at Uncle Earl's funeral), and I wished then that I would have had more time to visit with him...I still wish I could visit with him. I will miss him. I hate I couldn't make it to his services; there was just no way to get over to NC at that time. I miss you and would love to see you or talk to you some time. Much love goes out to you from TN. Please tell your mom hello and I'm sorry for her too.

Gwynette
Words are never adequately able to convey our sorry, and our concern and love for you as you say goodbye to your father. However, he was a very special gentleman. We so enjoyed our visits together, especially back at the old home place, and when you all visited us in Lake Park, FL so many years ago. Junior was a wonderful brothe-in-law and uncle for our girls! Just know we care.
Love, Polly Bowman Parizek

My sympathy to all of Jay's family, especially to Osie and Gwynette.

I have known Jay almost all my life and have a lot of fun, fond memories of him and the family. He will certainly be missed by all. I am sure he especially will be missed by Angela, Margaret,and Helen and their Saturday night outings, they have enjoyed the past few years.

My Love to the family

My sympathy to Jay's family from a former co-worker at MARC. He was a special person and it was a privilege
to know and work with him. He told us many stories, which kept us smiling. Georgette Kelly
