To Jay’s family, I just learned of Jay’s passing from a former co-worker at NH. I am so sorry for your loss. I was a co-worker of Jay’s for a number of years at NH. I worked with him indirectly on NH projects, updates and reworks. Jay always said hi to me and we would talk about work & life a lot. He talked about his family a lot. May Jay Rest in Peace and May God Comfort his family always, Tim R. Marholz

May you rest in peace, my friend Jay!  I am praising our Heavenly Father that you accepted him as Lord of your life and that you are no longer sick but well and happy and in His Presence!  Praising and rejoicing in that, thankful for the great memories we have shared over many, many, many years.  Prayers for your parents, Bev and Monica at this time that they will find rest and peace as we cover them in our earthly love.
