I got to know Jay when my great Aunt Helen was getting older and needed additional care. Very fine gent. I know he was big on family, friends, and his community. I feel blessed to have come across him in our extended family.
Jay was a great individual and we were neighbors for many years.
Always enjoyed my visits with Jay and they were upbeat and I appreciated his work ethic.
Jay will be missed by those that had an opportunity to call him a friend.
Becky and my thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Sorry to learn of Jay‘s passing.. Jay was a good friend for many years and helped me both professionally and personally. His smile and attitude will be remembered..
Jay and I often worked on the same property, he doing a general over all inspection, me a structural inspection. He was the best and always a joy to work with. RIP my inspecting friend.
