Polly, Jay was our mail carrier on 57th street for a number of years. We enjoyed him as much as we could when we only got to see him once in a while. He was quick with a smile and a wave when we did though. We are sorry for your loss and we will miss him too.

A message to Fullbright's family,
First met him at SJI at St. Louis which he was great play buddy. It was a shocking news as Jay was my buddy during NTID college as dorm and apt mate. My regret is that we did not follow up later years later. He was a good heart guy as I respected him.
My prayers to family

Hi Polly,
I just heard the news via e-mail about your husband. I read the obituary in the Fairfield Ledger the other day (not knowing who he was), and thought it was extra sad because he was our age. I didn't get the connection until I got the e-mail from our classmates.
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family. I'm sure all of your classmates from FHS will be thinking of you and your family.
Take care Polly.
Sincerely,
Josie (Turner) Hannes
