February 1, 1937 - October 23, 2020
Jay suffered many years and finally decided it was time and he passed with
advanced lung disease on Friday, October 23, 2020.
Jay was born and grew up in Worthington, Minnesota on a hog, beef, soybean
and corn farm. He learned early hard work, joy of farming, management of
money and was surrounded by extended family with a warm rural church
community. He and his wife brought this experience to Guelph, Canada in
1972, where he died last week as the patriarch of Strom's Farm & Bakery.
He is survived by his wife Marg (née Hess) from PA. of 56 years. He was
proud of his three sons Channing (Amy) and their two sons Lucas and Evan
(Krista), Eric (Joanne) and their three children Ciara, Hannah and Owen,
and Ryan (Jody) and their three children Tori, Bennett and Elliott. He is
predeceased by sister Maralee and survived by his siblings Sheryl (Glen)
and Jon (Elma). He is survived by many cousins and family in the US
mid-west.
