In his early years he had many jobs. His latest job before he retired was a bus driver for Crown Point Central School which he always said was his favorite job but we all know that being a Husband, Dad, Grandpa, PaPa, G-Pop had to be his greatest and most loved job and he loved to brag about each and everyone of us. He loved watching his grandkids play sports and continued to be a fan of the Crown Point Panthers whether it was soccer, basketball, baseball or softball. He always said there has to be a leader on the field (if you know you know) or he would offer refs or umpires a pair of glasses that he had. Per Jays wishes there will be no services and a celebration of life on the mountain at the Westport fish and game club on June 27th at 2pm bring your favorite memory to share and toast to the man the myth the absolute legend.
