I met Jay years ago when I bartended at Anthony's. He always had a smile and a little sarcasm to make me smile. He was a wonderful friend and an all around nice guy! Sorry to hear of his passing.

Jay was always such a sweet guy. He always said hi to me and would sit down and talk! I loved his laugh. We got to talking and we figured out we were Neighbors after awhile. I'm sorry for everyone's loss and I know he was such a great guy! We will see you in Heaven Jay! We will miss you until then! May God give his family and friends peace in their hearts. Amen
