Excerpt from the Lakeland Ledger:
Mr. Julian T. "Jay" Calhoun, Jr. of Lakeland died Saturday (Oct. 24, 1998) at home. He was 41.
Born in Lakeland on Aug. 6, 1957, he was a lifelong resident. He was a service mechanic. He attended Cleveland Heights Baptist Church.
Visitation will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Monday at Lanier Funeral Home, 717 Griffin Road, Lakeland. Services will be at 10 a.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Graveside services will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at Terrytown Cemetery in Terrytown, Ga.
----
Whether it was because his parents were from Georgia, or because he disliked haste and hurrying, Jay spoke with a long, slow southern drawl unlike the general speech of the peninsula of Florida. He joked that he didn't need to FINISH a sentence, because the listeners would get tired of waiting and do it for him (true). He moved that way, too, with a certain deliberate stride, though he could be lightning quick if necessary. His smile would come slowly, and last long - people truly enjoyed his company. He was employed for several years as a loader operator at the phosphate mines; a favorite of the drivers; they had many entertaining stories about Jay and they respected his abilities. Water claimed his leisure time - fishing, boating, or any variation of water sport. He also much anticipated his yearly hunting trips to Georgia. Before he got sick Jay was tall, strong, hardworking, honest, & the kind of guy folks would call when they needed help with a project or a companion for outings. Some of his practical jokes are legend - his mother said life was just not the same without him.
