Family was priority to Jay and he was known for his dedication and love for his family. He had a tireless work ethic and worked for the same company for most of his life. He was also known for his silliness and goofy sense of humor. Whether he was telling jokes, making faces, or doing silly dances, there was always a lot of laughter in his presence. He loved playing the drums and learned at an early age. He still had the same drum set he purchased himself when he was 17 and still occasionally played in his basement. Although it had been many years, he enjoyed and had many great memories of playing in a couple different bands over his life.
He enjoyed life, and he will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. He was an amazing man who was loved dearly.
Celebration of life to be held at a later date.
