Debbie Trimai wrote a sympathy message

“Jay and I were power plant operators at TCPP & MONPP In the late sixties and seventies. I considered him one of my good friends. I appreciated his sense of humor the most, enjoying specifically that smirk and the hint of a smile when he put it over on someone! I will always remember him with fond thoughts. I’m sorry for your loss. Bob Trimai”
