I remember such a soft-spoken man with a great laugh and a twinkle in his eye. He was always so interested in my work and what I was doing at the time when we had a chance to meet. I appreciated that a lot. My family and my brother and sisters’ family send our condolences. Linda Perry (Butcher) cousin

I was sadden to hear of Jay's passing. We was a wonderful caring generous man. Many in the church will miss him dearly. His family has my heartfelt sympathy .

Jay, What an impact you had on me as a budding researcher early in my career teaching fundamental techniques and attitudes towards scientific principles. I will always remember our car rides together during my summer internship of 2004 going to farms all over looking for insects and eggs to develop new pest controls. You truly were an inspiration. Thank you for all that you did. My condolences to Karen and the whole Whistlecraft family as you process this loss. All of our love from California. Mike, Margot, Maddie and Hannah

What a guy! Gentle, kind, smart, servant, empathetic, the kind of person I aspire to be. Jay was this person and more. I believe Jay is having a blast in heaven with the God we both believed in . Jay was GOOD! I am saddened that he suffered so much in his final years here and I am saddened for his family but hope that comfort and peace will come to all of you in the days ahead. Honoured to have known him as a treasured famiy member. Cousin Karen chose wisely as did Jaybird!

Jay was a popular high school classmate, kind, courteous and fun. Had I stayed in the St. Thomas area, I hope we would have become lifelong friends. Rest In Peace, my friend.

Our deepest condolences to the Whistlecraft family.

Jay, you were a good friend and a colleague. In your time, you were the best in Canada at insect production techniques for scientific research. I was privileged to share the lab beside yours. How appropriate that you left us on ‘giving Tuesday’! You gave so much to others including the Food Bank. You will be missed.

I babysat this fun loving guy. Had a great time and got paid. Friend to my kids. A gentle smart guy. Condolences to his family and friends. Ron Prickett Cousin

My deepest condolences to Jay's family...I knew Jay and Karen back in the 70's. He was a kind, gentle compassionate man with an infectious laugh. May he RIP.

My deepest condolences to the family and friends from Jay's work colleague.

Our deepest condolences to the family and friends. I lost my cherished and childhood friend Karen back in 2015. Jay was such a loving husband and father. He will be missed. Say “hi” to Karen in heaven. Love you.

We will miss you Jay. You were a dear friend.

RIP Jay, we will miss your sweet smile and your gentle kind presence. Love, Janice & Mike

I will miss you very much, Jay. You were always so cheerful at work. You always joked with me that I was older than you. It was only two months but you considered that older. You are with Karen now and you are at peace. Keep an eye on all of us down here.
