Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of his family!!! He will be missed!!!

My deepest sympathies are with you all.  I only knew Jay for several months and thought the world of him and he was always so great to be around.  I am very blessed to have met him and will never forget the time spent with him.  He will be greatly missed.

So sad Jay was such a good person he will be forever missed.

My heartfelt sympathy goes to the Karolyi family at this most difficult and unexpected time. Jay was a very kind,and generous soul and for all of us in the Blacklick area who knew him Jay will be forever missed and never forgotten. This world will be a much sadder place without him in it.

John, Noreen, Timmy & family,  there are no words that can describe our heartfelt sympathies for you and your family at this difficult time.  It is clear that Jay was well liked and respected and that he will be missed.   Please know that our hearts and prayers go out to each of you.

Jay was a great store manager and I had the pleasure to work in his Deo Drive store as a vendor. He was always approachable and made my job so much better. Jay knew my name in less than a week after he transferred to Newark and that showed me how he cared for people. 
You will be missed bro. RIP

John, Noreen, Tim, Jayme and all the Karolyi family, My prayers and thoughts are you, we will keep a eye on Cali. rest in Peace Jay.

To the Karolyi family. May God be with you at this sad time. I can still hear Jay when asked how he was doing "I'm living the dream."

My heart goes out to Karolyi family. May God give you strenghth and comfort during this difficult time.

Jay, I truly enjoyed managing the store side by side. I learned a lot from you and will cherish that forever. Prayers for your family and friends at this time.

Jay, words cannot express the devastation and loss your Kroger 926 family feels, and our prayers and thoughts go out to all of the family and friends who are missing you now. You were a great manager, and an even greater man, and I know I am going to miss your visits to our store. You always encouraged me and praised my accomplishments. I'm going to miss chatting with you and seeing that crooked smile. Rest in Peace.

John, Noreen & Family,

You will be missed Jay.You were a incredible man :(

Words cannot express the feeling of the news of your passing. You have touched so many lives. I can remember you walking through the store with the feather duster in your back pocket and a grin on your face. You showed us what team work was all about. You were a great leader, hard worker, and an all around good guy. You would take the shirt off your back if someone needed it. Thank you for all the love and support you've shown us through the years. You will forever be missed!

The world took a major hit losing you. I have nothing but great memories, mostly you being protective and looking out for me. You had a positive impact on my life and so many others. I wish I had the opportunity to be that for you. I still am hoping someone will call and say this isn't true.xoxo
