Jay enjoyed designing homes. It was one of his lifelong dreams and pleasures. He designed and built their family home in Idaho Falls. They left in the early 60's and did not return until he made a visit to his family and friends in July of 1999. He also enjoyed cooking and good food. He and Yvette both loved to tell the story about how when they first married she could not even boil water. He guided her so well that it also became one of her passions!
I was so fortunate to be at Arlington with Marraine when they had the service for Jay. It was beautiful!
