Jay was born in Athens, Greece in 1960. He was adopted by our family from the Queens Nursery when he was about 6 months old. He was a blond hair, blue eyed baby and good as gold as we traveled throughout the world. When he was 3 he developed childhood diabetes which was one of his many challenges in life. He loved to read when he was little and read whatever he could get his hands on! He also developed a love for music and learned to play the piano by ear. In his middle teens he started to lose his eyesite and started to go deaf, but it didn't stop him from loving music. Challenges continued to plague him and he developed a rare form of mental illness called Wolfsram syndrome, which we didn't know until he died in 2003. He was married and divorced, served a mission, had his own way of doing things, but he was still a beautiful little boy in my eyes. He was my Jebby.
