Ardis and family
We got to know Jay thru the "Phase III heart rehab program "at North Hennepin and will always remember his big smile friendly greeting. One of the guys brought in a horn for his walker which was sometimes over used not by him but all the people at rehab. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Our prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. Phase III rehab group.

Dear Ardy,

Thank you and Jay for sharing a recent afternoon with Jack, JoAnne and me.  Memories of Jay and his kindness will remain with me forever. It has been so pleasing to me over the years when I could partake of The Hopps Family gatherings.  You, your children and grandchildern are in my prayers and comforting thoughts.

Ardis and family,

I am so grateful that I got to know Jay years ago.  I met him when I played sax in the dance band that he was in.  He was always so much fun and so very kind.  I have missed him over the years and am very saddened by his passing.  I will keep you all in my prayers during this difficult time.  May you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you have.

Tammy, 

I am so sorry to hear about your dad.  I am thinking of you and your family during such a difficult time.

Dear Ardis and family,
I was so sorry to read of Jay's death.  I have missed our conversations since I retired from JJ's office.  May you find comfort in your memories.  My prayers are with you.

Dear Ardis, Tammy and Family,

Please accept our deepest sympathy in the sad loss of your dear husband and father, Jay. 

When we visited you last July after the Abramson reunion, we were touched by your warm hospitality. In spite of his health challenges and being bound to the wheelchair, Jay constantly wore a sunny smile. So did we that evening, because the joy displayed by our hosts was contagious. The photo taken in your home-sweet-home has been a great reminder of the happy evening we spent together.  

In this time of sorrow, we hope you will find some peace and comfort in the cherished memories of a wonderful life that Jay has lived and shared with you.

With love and sympathy,

Sum, Janeen, Matt and Jordan

Ardis, My wishes go to you and your family. It was a joy to be able to spend time with you and Jay when i was doing homecare for you a few years back. He was an outstanding man and was very lucky to have you as a wife also. Take care.

 Ardis & Family, We offer our sincere Sympathy to you all on the death of Jay. Ardis and Jay were one of our favorite neighbors living on Lake Success. Always enjoyed talking to Jay and listening to his accordion playing. We learned to make Lefsa from Jay and Ardis. Of course Jay insisted you had to have a scotch or two when making Lefsa. !!! Jay always came over in the morning of our pig barbecue to make sure I was doing it right.  Our prayers are with Jay and his family he leaves behind.   

Love John & Marlys Theis

Ardis,I shall always remember and treasure the times spent with you,Jay, Kevin and Tammy.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. We love you.
Karen and Ardie Wenzel
