News Reporter -Alan Lewin: Popular Montego Bay newspaper vendor Williams Parkins, otherwise known as
Jay is dead. Jay passed away on Thursday, October 29 at the Cornwall
Regional Hospital in Montego Bay after complaining of feeling ill.
Jay, age 89, was one of the parish’s oldest vendors. Born in Pondside, Hanover
on September 20, 1931, he came to St James to live at Greenpond where he
began his newspaper selling. He was a popular figure from in the ’60s selling
newspapers on his bicycle from streets to streets.
Jay retired from selling newspaper over 10 years ago, but frequented King street where the Gleaner office was based just to hang out with friends.
