Ralph John Harting

West Point, 1998

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Christopher Turner on May 9, 2005:

I had the distinct pleasure of graduating high school with Jay, along with many of the others who have posted eulogies.

Jay was one of the truest and kindest souls ever to walk the earth. He lived each day by our school motto "Tenui Nec Dimitam", I have taken hold and will not let go. He always had a smile on his face and could joke around with the best of them, but always kept his eye on the ball. He always knew how to accomplish his intended goal. He was a true leader.

Our senior year, I had the honor of singing alongside Jay in the school chorus. In fact, after I heard the news about Jay I listened to a recording, hoping to hear his voice.

Jay, you will be missed. But your spirit will live on.

My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and to all who have had the opportunity to walk alongside this true human.
