JAY KEAR, FUHS 1955

(I can't get the line spacing to work. Please excuse the difficulty in reading this message.) Connie Please pass the following information to FUHS Alumni. Jay Kear Class of 1955, Passed on, August 22, 2012. Jay was in great condition enjoying life when two years ago, was diagnosed with a brain tumor. As was his nature, Jay took the high ground and was determined to beat this problem. Unfortunately the medicines that helped defeat the tumor proved to be toxic. I was fortunate to see Jay on August 15 on my trip to Calif and said goodby to him that day. There are many classmates of Jay that remember him and will be sadden by his passing. This is the messaged received today from his Wife Lauren Jay passed away Wednesday, September 22 at 11:15 pm after a brave and courageous two year battle. He won his battle with brain cancer, only to become debilitated by the toxicity of the drug treatment. It was heartbreaking. Throughout the entire ordeal, Jay remained his heroic self. He was an inspiration to us all. Please join the family and me as we celebrate the life of this magnificent man. Memorial services will be held: Friday, September 28, 2012, 11:00 am Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church 600 Saint Andrews Road Newport Beach, CA 92663 The family and I will be hosting a luncheon immediately following the service. If any of you would like to share a story or remembrance of Jay, please let me know. In lieu of flowers the family requests donations to be made to: The Jay Kear Brain Cancer Fund c/o Graig Easton CHOC Children’s Foundation 455 South Main Orange, CA 92868 Checks should be made out to CHOC CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION, with Jay Kear in the memo line. Our family will direct the use of those funds in support of families whose children are battling brain cancer. Thank you for your love and support. It carried Jay and the rest of the family through some very dark days. To our family, you became the very physical expression of the outstretched arms of God.
