Jay was a good co-worker, a great friend, and an exceptional person. In the many years we worked together Jay was the epitome of common sense and strong values. I’ll remember his hearty laugh and stories forever, and will miss him immensely.
I can only feebly express my sadness on his passing, but be assured that everyone who knew Jay feels a tremendous loss.
My deepest sympathies to Jay’s family.

Genia & Girls,
To know “J” is to love him. A strong, silent man with a dry sense of humor. Right to the end he showed his love for his girls, all three of you. I’m glad I got to say goodbye. Rest in peace, you will be missed.

Jay Gumina and I were college roommates in the fall of 1990. I will always remember Jay for his love for life. We always picked on Jay for looking more mature than us. Most of us called him Dad. He was like a brother to me at uw whitewater

I had the great opportunity to meet, work and enjoy the time I spent with Jay during my trips to Racine back in 2009.
We will miss a great person and man

To Jay’s family and friends,
I am truly saddened by Jay’s death. I worked with him several years, met him in person the first time in Navan, Ireland, and then we met either in Racine, Burr Ridge, or Turin, Italy. I will always remember Jay for his optimism (‘there are no issues, just challenges or opportunities’), his sense of humor, and his dedication at work under an unpretentious approach.
Rest in peace Jay.

To Jay’s Familiy and Friends.
Much have been written and said about Jay and all the good things and memories he left behind too soon. I can only say that we will all miss a great man and I’d like you to feel that I’m really close to you in this hard moment.
I’m sure he will protect us walking at our side. Rest in peace Jay.

To Jay’s family and friends,
I worked several years with Jay, as co-worker in CNH in Italy, but unfortunately I didn’t have the opportunity to know him personally. I’ve appreciated and I will remind Jay’s enthusiasm, humour and unpretentiousness with his competence and tenacity, all through a far-off, brigth voice…
Rest in peace, Jay.
