Jay was my grandfather Lance M. Garten's cousin. I recall many a happy time at the Garten Family reunions held in Wayne Co. One special reunion was hosted by Jay and his wife at their home in Allerton. I'm glad to have known him and to know that kind of person was my kin.
Remembing Jay. Big, jovial kind of man who always had a 'story' to tell. Felt like I new half of Wayne County after talking awhile with Jay. Living so far away we didn't get a chance to see Jay often but when we visited his and sister Marjorie's home in Allerton you couldn't ask for better hosts. Jay and Marge made sure guests had great food to eat and lots of it. We had many, many card games with Jay and family and always enjoyed the visits. There's a big void left in Wayne County today with his passing. Our condolences to sister Marjorie and the rest of Jay's family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Love, Bob & Cleo Mason
