From Sherri Masterson, NW Region: It is with a very heavy heart that I pass on the news of Jay Bratton's passing Sunday afternoon June 13th.

Jay, who has been in the ICU at Evergreen Hospital since June 4th with heart failure, but thought to be improving, had taken a sudden turn for the worse during the night Saturday.

Jay was from Northwest Region, but often came to San Francisco Region events as a steward.

There will be a memorial gathering for Jay Bratton at Pacific Northwest Historics on July 2nd at 5:15 pm at Pacific Raceways hopefully in a tent near turn 9.

For those unable to attend, we will lift our glasses for a toast to Jay at 5:30 pm PDT. He has touched many lives over the years and this is the best way we can show our respects, all at the same time.

Email The Web Team to share your memories to Jay's page.
