Rest in peace Jay... Jay was my father's Step Brother and I have fond memories of visiting Jay and his family for poker games when he lived in Valparaiso. My siblings and I had lots of fun at their home with his three daughters while our parents enjoyed their games. Jay always made our family feel at home.
