Jay Claude Lewis, age 86 of Pleasant Hills, passed away on Thursday, August 11, 2022 in Jefferson Hospital. Born December 27, 1935 in Clairton, he was a son of the late John C. and Sarah E. (Grimes) Lewis. Jay was a talented hairdresser and barber with a loyal following, an amazing ice skater (who once tried out for the Ice Capades), and an excellent golfer and true student of the game. To all of these activities he applied a technical aptitude and curiosity, always trying to better his crafts.
