“I was unaware until this AM of Jay’s passing. I had promptings to connect with Jay these past months- he knew my father. I was employed by Jay for 2 years as grounds keeper; he was my mentor. I asked all the wards and stake members if they felt like the grounds looked beautiful and they agreed with me. I urged them all, a countless many, to share this sentiment with Jay. They did and Jay gave me a modest raise and I was deeply grateful. Gordon L Bishop. 1258E 900S PG UT 84062. Cell8013608297”
