Story Title: Friend and Co-Worker
By: Marc Wallace
I will remember Jay for his eagerness to be a hard worker for his family, in these hard economic times. Jay was always working hard to achieve his dreams for his family and himself. I will miss Jay, but I will also always have fond memories of him. Although I had only known him for a short time, it was easy for me to recognize his strong character and willingness to help others. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you. Marc Wallace

I have warm memories of my friend Jay from high school. I moved away from Indiana after college, so we never connected afterwards. He always received me in a genuine, loving way. His handsome face is vivid in my memory. I hope these condolences bring some peace to his family.

I was so shocked and so saddened to hear of Jay’s passing! I wasn’t close to Jay but we did have classes all through the years. I spent some time talking with him at the 2010, 30-yr class reunion. I was so impressed with him ; his accomplishments, his love for his family! He was a really great guy and I will miss him dearly. I will be praying for his family!!

Dear Jennny and Family,
My deepest apologies. I just found out. I am so very sorry for your loss. Jay was like a brother to me and he spent alot of time at our house growing up. I spent many hours watching he and Perry and Mike at wrestling matches. He made us all laugh and always had a story to make you smile, even when you didn’t want to. Jay loved his family dearly and was so proud of you all. Such a great man and a terrible loss. Jenny, my heart aches for you as you are a young widow and it must be very hard. You have a lot of people that love you and are here for you. May Jay be at peace and know he is smiling upon you and with you always. So so sorry for your loss.
