Guestbook

  1. My heart is broken for this unexpected loss. I will always cherish Uncle Jays calm presence, his funny personality, his smooth-talking cool presence and the way he could make you feel comfortable just being around him. I always loved his man cave — it was so him — a place full of sports, fishing and memories!

    Sending so much love, prayers and strength to Anita and our entire family during this incredibly difficult time. The void he leaves behind is immeasurable. Rest in peace, Uncle Jay. You will be missed more than words can say. 🤍

  2. On behalf pf the Forest Lake American Legion Post 225, we give thanks for Jay’s military service to our country in the Army.
