He is most fondly remembered for his patience, kindness, quick wit and profound wisdom. His family would like to share a prayer Jay wrote:
O Lord, Place my sins at the water's edge, so the tide will wash them all away.
Perch my dreams on a sandy hill, so the wind will blow them where it may.
Set my will in a canyon deep, so it won't bring me eternal sleep.
And hold me in Your hand someday, so that I be with You alway.
