In this Holy Season of Advent, our Sovereign, Compassionate Lord Jesus has called forth His most beloved son, Jay Leon Pisani, on Thursday, December 17, 2020 to be with Him forever in the splendor of Heaven. Jay is now joyfully reunited with his beloved parents, Joseph and Josephine Pisani and his mother-in-law, Anna M. Pezzuti and many other relatives who have predeceased him.
My beloved and precious husband Jay, was an intelligent, caring, talented, unique, loving and witty man. He was an electrician by trade which he loved and was excellent at. God blessed him with an excellent memory and he possessed an exceptional talent for fixing anything. If he had trouble finding a solution, he would troubleshoot the problem in his mind until he figured it out, which gave him great joy. Jay also loved music, especially jazz, cars, planes, trains, culinary food and techniques, and if something interested him, he would research it intensely. Jay was blessed with an original, witty and commanding sense of humor that was creative and hilarious and could capture a room full of people with laughter. He most especially possessed a generous and compassionate heart and his hands were full of meritorious deeds of kindness and mercy. He was full of thoughtful advice for anyone who would listen, especially his beloved nephews and nieces. Jay practiced his Catholic faith by living the Golden Rule: Love God and your neighbor, assisted at holy mass weekly (until COVID), and prayed the rosary with his wife almost every night in honor of Our Lady of Fatima. He was a devoted husband, brother, brother-in-law, uncle, friend, co-worker, neighbor, cousin, nephew and trusted confidante. Jay was loved by many. A beautiful light had gone forth from the earth and now shines brightly in the heavenlies.
I would like to thank the good Samaritan and the Union Volunteer Emergency Squad for assisting my husband in his greatest time of need. Our beloved, precious Jay will be intensely missed by all, especially his loving and devoted wife of 34 years, Anna L. Pisani; his beloved brother, James (Lani) Pisani; brothers-in-law, Edward (Debra) Kolanda, Joseph (Carol) Pezzuti; sisters-in-law, Maria Pezzuti, Grace Pezzuti (Jim Funai), Lisa (John) Carlucci; beloved nephews, Johua (Katy) Turner, Jason Kolanda, Vincenzo Carlucci and his much loved nieces, Danelle (Rosebud) Kolanda and Jessica (Matt) Pilkington and many cousins, relatives and friends.
