Marilyn, Tim, Susan and family;

Our deepest sympathy. I shall always remember Jay as a beaming face, bursting with joy in life, the mirth of a joke and the last hole that he birdied. His positive attitude improved the daily life of all he met. George & Christie

As his son-in-law, I’ve had the privilege to spend many hours with Jay. Jay took a very proactive interest in my life and career. He always treated me with the utmost respect, and made me feel smart and important. I will greatly miss our conversations. Jay was a good listener, and a challenging teacher. I remember most his easy laugh, confidence, and his passion for sports and politics. Our daughters Claire and Sydney were truly blessed to have had him in their lives. With them he was pure sugar.

Marilyn, Susan, and Tim you have my deepest sympathy. I love you.

Marilyn, Tim and Susan, I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. Jay was a true gentleman and will always be fondly remembered. The 8 years I worked for him here at Campbell's were the best. At this time of sorrow may the thought that others keep you in their prayers ease your heart and give you strength.
