MAINTAINER

Throughout Jay's 66 years of life, Jay owned and operated Pine Street Tavern and Noah's Ark, both in Little Chute.  He also ran the Washington Inn in Cecil.  After moving to the Shawano area Jay started Great Northern Amusements which is still going strong.  Jay had a love for boating on Shawano Lake and enjoyed traveling, making numerous trips to Aruba and Las Vegas.

CLOSER

Jay's favorite place was his "Club Labutz".  As many of you may know, this is located in his garage, there is not a garage anywhere that could compare.  Jay, Susi and their friends and family had many great times at the club.  Jay was known as a great host for many Packer and Brewer games and of course the Super Bowl.  He was a man with a HUGE heart.  He will be missed by so many.  THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES JAY! WE LOVE YOU!

A celebration of Jay's life will be held at the Lumberyard Bar and Grill, 815 North St. in Bonduel, on Sunday, April 11th, 2021, from noon until 5:00pm.
