Happy 39th Birthday Jay I miss you so much. Every time the kids are here I get so sad because you are not here to watch them grow into beautiful children. Why, why did you have to die. Love you forever

today is 1 year that we lost you. I love you so much. Today is Easter Saturday you and the kids would be decorating eggs. But as it turns out , because of a virus that has hit world we don't even have the kids. We could have used your help hooking up a dvd we bought for the back porch. I miss you around the house. Love always and see you soon. Love Mom

Merry Christmas Jay. I know this was always the holiday you looked forward to the most-complete with your Christmas Eve family traditions and that bacon scotch of yours. I hope your family was able to find your spirit in this holiday season and remember you with happy tears and smiles. I hope you were by your mom’s side, elbows deep in pierogie making.

Jay... I am so sorry that I did not fulfill my vow to you regarding Luna..We had to put her down due to severe complications from Lyme disease. I have never felt this bad about losing a dog. Part of me wants to replace her, but another part causes me to pause. I pray to God that I will figure it out, but this much I do believe, She is happy because she is back to you, someone we knew she missed very much. May both of you continue to rest in peace.

My dear son, yesterday Luna lost a battle of lime problems. Her kidneys just gave out. We had her at the vet for 3 days when she came home she didn't eat and throw up even the water she drank.She missed you so much and always watching in the window for you to come home. On Saturday 9-21-2019 she went to be with you. We miss you and Luna so much.3e

I continue to find you when I least expect it but need it most. You loved the parade on Memorial Day, and then the next day we would go kayaking and get lost in the tranquility of it all. I hope you have found your peace and your shoulders no longer carry any burden. It’s concert season-hope you are rocking out and smiling loud. God has a purpose for each of us. I wish yours wasn’t fulfilled so young. I’m sure you are watching over your kids and parents-they need you to. Don’t forget to make them smile in that “Jay” kind of way.

It is so difficult for me to grasp that you have left our lives. Yet I know that I must be strong for Mom and your kids. So, with God's help I will attempt to tackle what will be the greatest challenge of my life. You know that I love you and have told this to you face-to-face many times. In addition to watching over Mom and your kids, I promise to take good care of Luna who misses you also. I will continue to pray for you and expect to see you soon enough.

Jay left us to find peace and comfort above after a long week of struggle and pain. I am so sorry for my children. I am so sorry for Jay’s friends and family. This man gave me the most amazing, beautiful gifts I have ever been given and I promise to cherish his children as he did. I know, beyond a doubt, that his children were the light in his life. I am heartbroken that he will not be here to share in raising of these amazing, beautiful children. I promise him that I will NEVER let them forget his humor, his creativity, his music and his love for them! I thank him for the many years of love he brought into my life and I hope he can rest easy knowing he will live on in our lives forever ❤️ THEY WILL NEVER FORGET YOU AND YOUR LOVE FOR THEM!

JT, I always called you my other son because that's how it always felt to me. I am honored that you would call me your "other" mom and I hope you knew how much you meant to me, Justin and my family.
Always at Justin's side growing up and experiencing new adventures together , sometimes getting into mischief, but the two of you always managed to wiggle your way "out of trouble" by saying or doing something to make me laugh.
I am in awe of the great father you had become and the thought and care you expressed in all your deeds throughout your life.
Thank you for being a "brother" to Justin and thank you for always making me feel Special....Love your Broken Hearted 2nd Mom

Jay,
When we worked together at Pagelink, we had alot of amazing conversations as well as laughs. You taught me alot about graphic design and many other things," I thank you". I will never forget how we always would talk about our kids, or how you had a blast at your moms Murder Mystery party, or how you were out an listened to an amazing band.I will miss calling you when Mike has issues with his xbox.. I don't know why, or how, but god always a plan for us all. I am praying hard for your children, mother/brother and family.
God took an AMAZING FATHER, son, brother,friend away!
Fly high Jay, you will be missed terribly...
Until we meet again.

Jay and my son Anthony played around and grew up together in Totowa and even attended my sons wedding back in October. I was very fond of him, and it broke my heart to hear of your loss. He was a good kid and very respectful whenever he came around. My sincere condolences to your family.

Jay, I am so saddened to hear about your accident. We shared many memories together I will cherish forever. One thing that you were always good at making people laugh. Whenever a moment got too serious I knew I could always count on you to bring a smile to my face. You were my kayaking partner-my one who was always up for an adventure. We may not have made it last forever but there is a piece of my heart that will forever be yours. Rest easy and fly high. Shine bright for your kiddos-they’ve got a special angel. #savethebestforlast

You were my brother, an uncle to my kids, and an overall fun loving guy that showed me more than you will ever know. I love hearing about all of the “Jay stories” coming out. I knew about some of them.
I will miss you. Keep the family laughing up there and save a glass of good scotch for me when it’s my time.
Love you, Bro!!

JT,
We were brothers upon becoming friends when we were toddlers. We grew up together and had our paths lead us apart then back together many times. Yet, we never skipped a beat.
You are missed more than you’ll ever imagine. I’m torn up that I’m even writing this, but the silver lining is to see how many other people you impacted in this world. You’re an amazing father and those kids will always know that. God bless you brother.
Your friend forever,
Justin
