Greg Carlson and family, and the Raichart family Cyndi Likes I went to high school with Jay and was very surprised to read of his passing. I always liked Jay and thought he was a kind, nice person. He had such a ready smile. I was also surprised to find that he and his family was so close to my Uncle Gus and his family. Such a small world. Jay will be missed by many, but he is no longer in pain. Roni (Nash) Thompson roninash@hotmail.com I am so sorry for your loss. I am Jay's cousin Cathy's daughter, and I used to love to see Jay, Gene and John when I would go to visit Uncle LaVere during the summers I spent with my grandparents when I was little. I pray that you will be comforted at this time.
