On September 3, 1938 he married Lily Mae Jones in Burlington. They made their home in Stratton and welcomed three children. The family later moved and settled in Holyoke where Jay was employed by Reimer-Smith Elevator.
He retired to a small farm in Julesburg, which he filled with cows, horses and donkeys. Jay loved being outdoors and soon filled his farm yard with a variety of shade trees and fruit trees.
