He always loved to sing at Russellville Community Church where he was a member and he loved and adored everyone that attended. Jay never met a stranger and anywhere you ever went with him, he was bound to stop and talk to someone he knew. If you stopped in and Jay wasn't home, just listen for his lawn mower, because he loved to mow his yard. He also enjoyed working on ancestry and genealogy and was very proud to get into the Sons of American Revolution. Jay had worked at CFCO, Lawrence County Sherriff's Department and later he worked for Sexton-Wilbert Vault and he also was an avid carpenter.
