My best memories of Jay are from the Our Gang parties, when he and Irwin would do their take off on Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon (complete with turban and bad jokes). What a great guy!!!

He definately hung me from his finger and lifted me off the ground though. How come all my body weight didn't make him fart even though when i just pulled on it, it did!?!? Can't wait to see everyone when I get back from California! -mark Could my Dad really tear a phone book in half?,…or was that some crazy trick he did!

Another (might have been the same evening) is playing Bop It on the sidewalk in front of Palmer's after a few adult beverages. One of the best friends ever!

I miss him...

I was the official "beer fetcher" if I was hanging out with Lisa and Jay on the weekends, not fetching so much for Lisa, and no, I never did fetch any Budweiser. Jay had zero patience for crowds and traffic but still took me to concerts and fireworks whenever I was home in the summer. We tried to set records with Kadima, a paddle ball game we played on the front lawn in NH. We had to to get to 100 volleys and would be unable to eat dinner until then. He always asked, "How is the Army?" when I came home on leave from the Navy. "Mow de Lawn" French for "Cut the Grass" "Disco Sucks" ..... He encouraged me to get a sports watch to start timing my runs when I was 19 and I have been running ever since. That is all that occurs to me right this moment! See you at the race!

My sister had admired a sign they had on the wall and Jay went right over took it off the wall and stole it! I'm pretty sure she still has it. Jay was always like an uncle to me and always made us laugh. He still does. I'll see you all at the race!

I know I can't remember the real lyrics for many songs to this day, as Jay had many of his own words. Some I can't share with his sons, and if you knew Jay, you know what I mean. It's quite ironic that now 8 years later, we still honor Jay with a 5K road race when he hated long distance so much. But I know he'd be so amazed at the numbers of people who return each year for this race. He'd love to share a beer with you all, as long as it wasn't a Budweiser!
