Hi, David. I went to school with your dad at WVWC. I just happened to be sitting and watching TV and the thought, I wonder what ever happened to Jay Baird came across my mind. So, I googled him. I’m so sorry for your loss. Jay was a great guy. I wish I’d had that thought a couple of years ago. It would have been nice to have talked to him and be able to reminisce. We lived off campus at 54 College Avenue, where we had separate rooms, but shared a bathroom. One other student was another roommate. Jay was a Senior and I was a Freshman. We didn’t hang out together, but did talk frequently. He was a good influence on a young student. I remember how excited he was when he got the student teaching job at one of the Buckhannon schools. I think it may have been the middle school. It’s great to see that he was able to pursue his dream. Best to you and your family. Rodger Smith, Scarborough, Maine

Uncle Jay accepted his failing health and eye sight gracefully never complaining. He continue to come to our family's birthdays , pool parties and Holiday gatherings always preparing a special casserole, appetizers or a deserts. Being a school teacher he loved hearing my nieces and nephews talk about school activities. we will miss him dearly. joy & dan

For a time, Jay was the coordinator between QACHS (where he taught), the Centreville MD Lions Club, (to which he belonged), and Chesapeake College (where the scholarship was paid out) for the annual Lions Club's "Citizen of the Year Award" scholarship that paid for college education @ Chesapeake College to eligible students from QACHS. The award was given annually to different citizen top honor them and besides a plaque to the honored, scholarship money was paid for up to 4 semesters per selected student to attend Chesapeake. One Lios Club committee oversaw raising the funds' another selected and nominated the student, another nominated the "citizen of the year" and Jay kept up the connection between the college and the Lions Club. Some citizens owe their 1st 2 years of college education to Jay's coordinating work between all parties.

Jay loved all the holidays and enjoyed giving gifts, sending cards, making baskets of candies and treats, for family and his many friends. My cousin always had time to listen and visit with a sense of humor. He was loved and will be missed. Janice
