Death of Jay Johnstone

"A friend of 65 years."

"Almost a year since you left..hoping you're flying high... you sure are missed in this world."

"A good ballplayer and a bunch of class. Not many men can compare to his sense of humor."

"I didn't hear the sad news until the first week of February. He was my all time favorite baseball player. I was a fan since 1976. When he had a great season for the Phillies. My condolences to his family, friends, and other fans around the country"

"Jay baseball days were alittle before my time but Jay sounds like a totally amazing person both on and off the field. So sorry."

"First to Jay's family, my deepest condolences. I just found out about Jay's passing. To Jay, thank you for all the memories. You were one of my favorite players no matter what team you were on. I basically grew up parallel to your career. Your book is the best. Keep the baseball players loose in heaven. May God Bless You, Paul Kletzel"
