Jay P. Lattimer, 68, of Franklin, N.C. passed away Thursday March 29, 2018.
Born in Wausau, WI, he was the son of the late Edwin H. Lattimer and Beata Sell Lattimer. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his brothers, Michael, Thomas & Judd Lattimer.
He graduated from Northland College, Ashland, WI. He spent his career as a salesman in the sporting goods industry.

Later he moved to south Florida where he did commercial property management before retiring to the beautiful Blue Ridge mountains of NC.
He loved people, had a great sense of humor, and no one ever went away a stranger.
