Condolences to the children and family. Jay will be missed at “the Yards”. A gracious and friendly person with an admired work ethic. He couldn’t speak more of his love for his children. What a great guy!

Condolences to the family. Jay was always the jokester and made the best of things. A competitor on and off the lanes. We’ll miss that infectious smile. Rest easy my friend.
Thinking of you all and sending all our love,Aunt Kathy and family, Aunt Patti and family, and Uncle Craig and family.
Please accept our sympathies for your loss. Our thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
We were competitors on the lanes but friends off the lanes. I was glad that you, Bill and I bowled together in the summer trio last year. I will miss the Thursday night after bowling get togethers at Applebee's and Mulligan's with you, Bill, Tom, Ed and me. You left us way too soon. Rest in peace my friend.

I am glad we were able to talk 2 weeks ago. The question why do bad things happen to good people is a question I wish I could answer. I remember as soon as I had Dawson you called and made sure everything was ok, as soon as I said we were going home on day 5 the very next day you drove in to meet him.
Thank you Jay for our 25 years of AMAZING FRIENDSHIP! I will cherish the memories we made FOREVER! As I look back throughout my life and some of the things you did for me all I can say is not too many people have a friend in that capacity in this day and age. No matter what the issue I had in my life you were there to help me conquer the obstacle no matter what it was. If I needed a car, you brought me yours, if I needed money, you somehow would get it and hand it to me no questions asked! You were the real deal when it came to being my friend and I am FOREVER GRATEFUL! I love you Mary and will miss you terribly❤️
Jay was a part of the Garcia family for so many years. We’re grateful we have so many memories to cling to at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his loved ones. RIP Jay! We love you! Lisa Alvarez (Dave Garcia’s mom)
Rest easy my friend. You will be missed. I’m sorry bud… cancer sucks so bad… I really wish this would have gone differently for you my man. You will be in many thoughts, and I will see you again one day.
Though we have never met you jharp, we all feel we lost a great friend. Rest in peace our brother.
Deeply sorry. May your family find strength at this time
