I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I enjoyed going to dinner and having adult beverages with him on Shem Creek. He loved bragging about his loved ones. Jay would go out of his way to help anyone. I will truly miss him! I pray for peace and comfort for his family.

We were so saddened to hear of Jay's passing. When everything in the world continued to change, Jay remained the same. He was a genuine, caring soul. Wade, Millie and I send our thoughts and prayers to Jay's entire family but especially Ms. Suzanne, who touched thousands of lives of the children of James Island through the O'Quinn School.
