Zyla Family, my husband and I first met Jay when he would come and visit Jean on Keeler some 15 years ago, we live next door. I would often see Jay walking in the neighborhood and he would fill us in on what was going on in the hood, he seemed to know everybody. My husband and I are so glad that we went and visited him at home a few weeks ago and were glad to see that he was the say ol' Jay! We were also sent home with a bunch of tomatoes that he said were from his very own garden...delicious! Everytime we walked in the neighborhood and walked past the park we always found ourselves looking for him. We will truly miss Jay, he always made us laugh, the neighborhood won't be the same without him. Our condolences go out to your family.
Tom, Sandy and Sarah Mitchell
