Crisfield loses a community icon.

 


Active in Crisfield's community life for over five decades John "Jay" Tawes has died at the age of 73.  

(Obituary excerpt)

He was a graduate of Crisfield High School class of 1969 and obtained his Bachelor Degree in marketing from the University of Richmond in 1973. He was owner of Tawes Insurance in Crisfield.

Jay loved Crisfield, the people of Crisfield, and devoted more than 50 years of his life in economic development to try and help his community. He served and volunteered for numerous organizations, and was a dedicated member of Immanuel United Methodist Church.

Jay and I double-dated to the PHS Prom in 1969. His date was Jeannie Boston and mine was Sherry Pusey. He will be missed.

Your friend,
