Like Will Rogers, Jay liked just about everyone he met. He was generous and affable and tended to see the best in others (whether it was there or not). He was a loyal friend, a fantastic father, a wonderful husband, and a dedicate Read Obituary
I really loved the Bell Choir and playing guitar with Jay on piano in my younger years at Calvary Church. Jay was a patient teacher and my memories of him are still fresh in my mind. My condolences go out to Lyn and her family. Mike Yanick.
I came to Hainesport School in 1990, and James Warney was the first one to come to my classroom to greet me. He knew I had moved from another state and wasn't new to teaching, but still new. He told me to come to the teacher's room at lunchtime, that everything else I thought I should be doing could wait. When I arrived, he introduced me to everyone, had me sit next to him, and proceeded to tell wonderful stories about everything except teaching. He gave me the break and the smile I didn't even know I needed. I cherish the joy for others and life that he shared each day with everyone. With him in mind, I have tried to do the same for others. I thank him for over thirty years of "new."

Thank you Mr. Wargney. You opened my mind to the power of music. For me music is the highest art form. You can't see it or touch It but it can make you see and feel. It evokes emotions joy, love, sadness, memories that live forever in recordings and your mind. Thank you for being you Mr. Wargney. My deepest condolences to family and friends.
