Jay and I were elementary school classmates at Spitler school. I remember that he was very good at making sketches. I see from ancestry.com that he died on 21 October 2017 in Pennsylvania.

It was in the late '90s when I read that Jay was having a solo exhibit at a gallery on the South Side. We had both gone to Edinboro U. majoring in art. Every so often we'd run into each other on campus, so I knew how talented and accomplished he was.
I was excited to catch up after 20 years, and that's when I found out that he had been battling leukemia. He was the same generous and gentle soul I knew in HS art class.
Mark Pansa, a mutual friend, gallery owner, and supporter of Jay posted this tribute on Facebook.
"We lost a great man Saturday. The talented artist and kindest gentlemen you'll meet and my good friend and mentor Jay Flory. I only wish I spent more time with him. You'll be loved and missed forever Jay."
