Jay, four others and myself had all the same classes together in eighth grade at Wasatch Junior High. It's funny I don't remember the others guys names but I could never forget Jay. I liked Jay and yes he did have a great sense of humor and he was a unique person. The stories I remember and wish I could tell. He was a great artist, and many of those stories were in art class. I wish I had stayed in touch. It's crazy that I probably lived close and did not even know. I have lived in West Jordan for the past 35 years. I wish I could have seen him before he passed away and could have talked of the past.

For Judy, To be a wife and best friend is the highest treasure of life. I am sorry for your loss that only time can make bearable.
