He was a golf and hunting enthusiast, appreciated taxidermy, always rooted for the Detroit Tigers, and enjoyed being around people. He is survived by one daughter, Laurie Jayne of Florida; two grandchildren, Hannah J. Alverez and Cameron S. Read; three great-grandchildren; one sister, Joan Tomlinson of Caro; and several nieces and nephews. In addition to his parents and wife, he was preceded in death by his son, Scott Jayne.
