(Bar) Soltysik.<br> <br> Jas is survived by his brother, Larry M. Soltysik and his companion, Charlene Hubbard of Reading, and his sister, Lottie B.

Cliff</p> <p class="font_8">Jas was a stagehand legend, one of the best in our craft; he was loved and will be missed by many. Gigs will not be the same without him sharing his years of stories and expertise. Jas taught me how to tie a clove hitch and got me on Local 97's call list. Jas got around and I was always happy to see him on calls, especially in houses I was a stranger in where he'd always introduce me to other local hands. We spoke for a while in the parking lot after the last gig we worked together and I was glad to have that time with him. I'm really going to miss him... Tony</p> <p class="font_8">This has surely taken me by surprise. Jas was a very knowledgeable and interesting fellow.&nbsp; What I will always remember about Jas is the fact that he always talked to you, whether he knew you or not.&nbsp; The other thing I will always remember was how safety minded he was in what was going on, he never held back.&nbsp; He will be missed. Rest in peace my Brother... Joe Grazan</p>
