My fondest memory is eating with him. He enjoyed food and the restaurants we were at. He taught me what it meant to be a New Orleanian. I cannot remember him being sad and anyone who knew him probably could say that no matter how things were going at the time, you left after talking to him better than you were before. Thank you God for blessing us with him.

I was so sad to see this on FB tonight. Jay was a part of my youth at Sacred Heart. He was such a great guy and coach and you all were lucky to have him as a dad. I can't help but remember walking down Banks Street and stopping to talk to Mr. Jay. So sorry for your loss and may he Rest In Peace.
