Dear Noah, Julie, Seth and Jesse,
Your dad taught me so much during while I was in graduate school 1964-1966. He was my advisor and was extremely patient with me. I learned so much from observing him counsel parents when we did evaluations together. I also enjoyed the time I spent in your home babysitting for Noah and Julie when you were very young kids. Love to all of you. Vernice Jury

Dear Noah, Jesse, Seth and Julie,
I just heard about Jay's passing. What a wonderful man and what a great influence he had on me as a grad student and then as a clinical faculty member and friendly mentor. He was truly beloved by all of us. I am so sorry for your loss.

Your father was a special and beautiful person who added so much to my life and meant so much to me even though I only knew him for a few years while in graduate school and working in CT in the late 80s. I never forgot him, his humor and how very kind he was to me while I was there so far from home. I was really thinking about him for the past couple of weeks, and just saw this news. My thoughts are with you.

Dear Noah, Jesse, Seth & Julie,
I was very saddened to hear of your dad's passing. I have so many warm, delightful memories of visits to your parents' home in Connecticut as a child, and from the times I saw Aunt Sally & Uncle Jay on both coasts -- not nearly often enough -- as an adult. I'm grateful I got to see Uncle Jay one more time in 2012 in Pennsylvania. We shared one of those unexpected, sacred moments looking into each other's face and laughing that encapsulated for me all the joy your parents brought to each other, to all of you, and to the world around them. They touched so many lives in ways that will continue bringing happiness and benefit for countless years. Thinking of you and sending all my love during this difficult time.

Julie, Seth, Noah Jesse. Jay was our colleague and good friend for many years. He was a memorable friend. He was very proud of his family and spoke of you often. He and Sally were a generous couple who gave themselves to helping others. He will be missed.

Julie, Noah, Seth, Jesse: My condolences on the passing of your father, Jay. I had the privilege of working many years with Sally at the UConn Coop Bookstore. One year Sally invited me and my young children to celebrate Seder dinner with them. It is still a memory I and my now grown daughters cherish. Your mom and dad were the best of life and I was so lucky to know them.

Not only was Jay the best man at my wedding, he was one of the best men I've had the pleasure of knowing in all my life.

Jay & Sally were the penultimate teachers. Jay taught me, by his example, to attend to the things that need serious care and attention and to spend the rest of my time laughing and enjoying life. Jay taught our son Frankie how to tell a great story and about the depth of love that can be shared by people not related by blood. Sally taught me, by her example, to try to live with an open-mind, open arms, and an open heart. We were all so blessed to have known them. I’ll miss knowing Jay’s spark is in the world and try to honor him by having more fun! Much love to Seth, Julie, Jesse, Noah & Sis.

I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Working with your Mom at the Co-Op brought your Dad into my life. He always came in with a smile and usually with a comment. He always made my day. My thoughts are with you all.

My condolences to the family. Jesus called Death, SLEEP. Why? Because, The Bible promises the resurrection for our loved ones who have fallen asleep in death. (John 5:28,29) Please visit www.jw.org for more spiritual comfort during this difficult times.

Such fond memories of your Dad and Mom! They were my first friends when I moved from Wisconsin in 1977. I spent many happy hours with them in Storrs. In fact it was your Dad who gave me my nickname!

Dear Jules and Family...there are no words. Your Dad was a kind, sweet soul with a sense of humor that was infectious. Find peace that he is now with the love of his life and in your memories....
