Hilscher

James “Jay” Richard Hilscher, 67, of Beaver Falls, formerly of Moon Township, passed away on Wednesday, March 20, 2024, while surrounded by his family.

Recently retired, Jay spent more than 30 years in the food brokerage business.

Jay was a true patriarch to his growing family and an irreplaceable fixture within his close-knit circle of friends. He very generously shared his heart with his loved ones and extended that love to anyone who happened to come through his door. He made everyone feel right at home with his presence. An avid golfer, if Jay was on your team, you probably won.

Jay is survived by his wife, Jan Hilscher; son, Jay Hilscher Jr.; daughter, Lindsay Freeman (Ryan); stepsons, Ron Cramer (Julieann White) and Andy Cramer (Courtney); a stepdaughter, Monica Carusone (Anthony); and seven grandchildren, Isaac, Amelia, Evelyn, Aria and Ethan Hilscher, Kennedy Cramer and Anthony Carusone Jr. He also is survived by his brother, Hyde Woodhall Hilscher (Susan); and his sister, Lorraine Mossbarger.

He was preceded in death by a son, Gregory T. “Greg” Hilscher.
