I want to share my condolenses to Jay's family. I am one of the Paris boys who knew Jay well and also played in the band. Regret I had not seen him in many years, but I remember him with great fondness. "Willie"##imported-begin##Dr. Charles Williams##imported-end##
Very sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He was such a kind and thoughtful individual. We visited briefly at the funeral for my mom in '97 in Greenville. We really appreciated his effort to be with us at that time - he and my mom were cousins by marriage through Nancy's family. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family members.##imported-begin## J.

I really did not know your loved one except by reputation which certainly was a positive one. I knew he was well respected in the Community which certainly speaks volumes for the kind of man he was.
I am remembering the family and all who cared for and loved him. I
am sure that Heaven has gained another Angel and that this dear man touched many people in a positive and meaningful way.##imported-begin##Milie Harper##imported-end##
I was so saddened to hear of Jay's death. He and Nancy were such wonderful neighbors to my parents, Joe and Gladys McLendon. And I will never forget how caring Jay was when Daddy died. Jay will be missed by family and friends alike.##imported-begin##Judy McLendon Petty##imported-end##
