Dear Diane, Wayne, Pat, Bruce and the entire McVety Family, You couldn't find a better neighbour than Jay. Always pleasant, always smiling, always willing to help someone out. That was Jay! Jay and Muriel had been our neighbours for approximately 40 years! I'm going to miss our chats along the fence line. I'm also going to miss Jay's pool inventions and how smart he was in so many different ways. To his family, cherish the many wonderful memories of this special man.
