Dr. Scully was a great friend and loyal alumnus of the Institute. Dr. Scully was always there to offer assistance and advise. I am blessed for knowing him.
Dear Peggy Lee, Rebecca and Matthew: So many memories flood my brain regarding shared times together with Vienna Lacrosse and your deck. Always Jay filled the room with a laughable word, penetrating interest, and a deep passion for life. I was always so scared riding with him in the car but somehow he radiant confidence gave me a sense of safety and comfort. We are all so sorry and send you tons of hugs with prayers that his tremendous love for each of you will hold your heart for years and years. What a great yet humble man of our Lord. XOXOXOXO
Jay always had time to speak to and counsel an underclassman even after we graduated and our paths crossed infrequently whether it was in the Pentagon or on the steps of the downtown Army – Navy Club.I am a better man for having known him.
Dr. Sculley was a friend and mentor. My fondest memories were when he appointed me the SARDA Secret Santa and provided me with all the inside information to roast the staff at the annual Christmas party. He will be missed.
Jay was a friend from the days when he was Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Research and Development, and just recently he and I had a good visit. He served his Country honorably, and well. I will miss him, and the always friendly smile he wore every time we had the occassion to visit.May he rest in peace. John Hay
You have our deepest sympathy at this time of loss for your family. In Christ, Robin, John, Tom and Andrew Rohrback
Peggy Lee: Maureen and I are deeply saddened by the passing of Jay. Our heartfelt sympathy to you Becca and Matt. Jay was instrumental in Sean’s attending VMI and an inspiration to all who knew him. Eleventh St will never be the same. We lost a friend and the NY Yankees lost there number one fan. Godspeed!
Jay was an old friend I would seek out to visit when I came to Washington. You always felt so much better after spending time with Jay…the true measure of a friend. …..Jack Krings
Jeff and I were saddened to read of Jay’s passing. I have not seen nor spoken to Jay since our days at Annandale High talking about the Yankees or during his first years at VMI. Jay was a honorable man then and remained so throughout his life. What an honor to have known him.
I had the great privilege of working with Dr. Sculley when he was the Army’s Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research, Development, and Acquisition. Dr. Scully was a great mentor to his project and product managers. He always had the needs of the soldier as his top priority. I am greatly saddened by his passing and want to express my deepest sympathy to his family.
I first met Jay shortly after he was appointed Asst Sec Army for R&D. I worked closely with him on Nuclear/Chemical issues for the Army. He was always supportive, always ready to listen, and always ready to act. I cherish memories of dinners together and get to gethers at my residence in McLean, or with him at restaurants in DC. He was a wonderful, cheerful human being. I will always cherish his memory. Niles J. Fulwyler Major General, USA Ret.
A terrific gentleman that helped me grow up. He always gave good advice. We will miss.
Dr. Sculley was my soccer coach, faculty advisor and professor. He set high standards for integrity and I try to live up to his example and expectations. He made a difference in my life. The Sculley family has my deepest sympathy.
Dear Peggy Lee – The Dr. Sculley network has been busy passing on the sad news and remembering what a great patriot he was. Dr. Sculley was a great leader and mentor to those of us fortunate enough to work for him in the office of the Assistant Secretary. You are in our thoughts. We will not be in town the last two weeks in February, but we will think of you and Dr. Sculley on the 23rd. wkt
Dear Peggy Lee, Our friends, Pat and Jack Taylor, just relayed the news of Jay’s passing. Fond 11th Street memories of him are still with us. His wry humor and charming manner made a profound effect on our entire family. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Thoughts and prayers are with you, Becca, and Matt.
I only knew Dr. Sculley for 2 years, having worked with him and Gen. Koehler on 2 potential projects. What an extraordinary person Jay proved to be. I regret I did not know him better and longer. I send my prayers to all of you who knew him well. God bless him. Tim Sklar
Brooke and I send our deepest sympathy to all of you. We are so sad that Jay has left us. He will be long remembered by us. John Howard
Jay Sculley was an outstanding warrior and statesman. He will be missed by all. God Bless him and his family. VR, Earle
Jay (or Major Sculley as I remember him at VMI) was a professor of mine in Civil Engineering and the dad of a classmate and my ‘football big brother’ while I was at VMI on the football team. What a great VMI alumnus and American patriot Jay has been through the years. Great memories of seeing Jay and Peggy at the VMI basketball games in “The Pit”… My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Dear Peggy Lee and family, Our paths became separated after my graduation from VMI in 1971. However, my existence continues to benefit from the advice and guidance your husband provided during my cadetship. I hope by my presence at his funeral service tomorrow, to honor him as my coach, my teacher and my friend, and demonstrate the gratitude and respect I will always hold for him regardless of the passage of time.
If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane we would walk right up to heaven and bring you back again. No farewell words were spoken no time to say goodbye, you wee gone before we knew it and only God knows why. Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow what it meant to lose you no one will ever know but now we know you want us to mourn for you no more, to remember all the happy times life still has much in store since you’ll never be forgotten. We pledge to you today a hallowed place within our hearts is where you will always stay. May God give you comfort during the loss of Jay.
