Henry Jay Ohland (b. April 24, 1939 in Brooklyn, NY) died peacefully in his sleep at age 83 on the morning of December 28, 2022, near his home in Rockledge, FL. Jay fostered congeniality with everyone he met, effortlessly making friends and drawing them into his company. He lived in Syracuse, NY, with his beloved wife Sandra for many years, working on radar systems as a senior marketing manager at General Electric. He enjoyed international work travel to meet with foreign officials over fantastic restaurant meals, and treating his family to international vacations, cruises, and fine dining. Declaring he would never again use a snowblower, he and Sandra retired to Rockledge and became welcome regulars at Café Margaux. Jay is survived by his devoted wife Sandra Ohland, his son Mark Ohland and wife Morgan, his daughter Emily Ohland and husband Matt Wolf, and grandchildren Winifred and Gabriel. He is predeceased by his father Henry, his mother Winifred, and his beloved brother Harvey.
