Following his graduation from Emmett High School, Class of 1951, Jay was drafted into the U.S. Army that August and sent to Basic training in Augusta, Georgia. Then it was off to Fort Monmouth, New Jersey where he was trained to be a radio repairman. Thereafter, Jay was stationed at Fort MacArthur, California where he did defensive gun and radar warning systems installations throughout Los Angeles, California until 1953, when Jay received an honorable discharge.
While in New Jersey, he and some of his buddies got to see a play in New York one Saturday night and attend church the next morning. Another visitor in that congregation that morning was Ramona Hall, who was vacationing with her family. Jay and Ramona struck up a friendship and began a correspondence. Their friendship bloomed into romance and the two married on August 14, 1953, in the Idaho Falls Temple.
Jay and Ramona moved to Moscow, Idaho while he attended the University of Moscow. Four years later, with twin girls in tow and Jay's B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering in hand, the family moved to Corona, California. There, Jay worked for the Federal government in its Civil Service Missile Defense program. Eventually, he became a Lead Engineer, specializing in missile guidance. He worked with the Minuteman, Seargeant and Sidewinder missile systems. In 1961, Jay moved his family to West Valley, Utah; in 1967, he and Ramona built a home and moved to Bountiful, where they remained. After Jay retired, he became a Lead Engineer for Boeing Aerospace and traveled the world with Ramona for the next five years.
Following his retirement from Boeing, he and Ramona became snowbirds in Yuma, Arizona where he could play golf. They did this for the twenty years, until Damon's health began to deteriorate and she passed in 2016.
