A memorial service will be held at 11:30 a.m. Sept. 24 at Briarwood Community clubhouse in Eugene for Raymond E. "Skip" Jay of Eugene, who died Sept. 7 of pneumonia. He was 72.
He was born July 25, 1939, in Coquille to Raymond and Iris Cooper Jay. He married Donna Neuharth on Dec. 21, 1958, in Eugene. She died May 15, 1997.
He graduated from Marshfield High School in 1956. He joined the U.S. Navy in 1957 and was stationed on the USS Aludra.
Ray was active in setup and running the River Road Cruise-In popular hot rod event for 14 years running until its demise. Ray was always there to help with parking and registration, not to mention setup and arrangements for the weeks and months prior. He never asked for anything in return and brought his personal network of family and friends to help. Ray always had a custom classic car to drive on special occasions.
After the passing of his wife in 1997, Ray became very active in nostalgic drag racing throughout the northwest traveling to many tracks in Oregon, Washington, Canada, Idaho and Nevada. Ray was very recognizable by the racing and cruising participants at these events.
Ray worked for Mac's Batteries, a locally owned business for a number of years in Outside Sales calling on industries such as construction, mills and logging throughout the state. He later worked as an independent contractor as Mr. Fix-It and Locksmith for the Key Bank that his wife Donna worked for.
Ray also maintained and kept a records warehouse for the Oregon Medical Group (OMG), and was loved and respected by the doctors, nurses and associates within the organization. Ray was very sharp and skilled in many areas and was recently proclaimed as "The Original McGiver".
Survivors include a daughter, Judy Gould of Eugene; two grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
Arrangements by Musgrove Family Mortuary in Eugene. Remembrances to the American Cancer Society, Oregon Division, in Eugene.
