John (Jay) Charles Trullinger was born May 29, 1946 to John D. and Geraldine Woodbury Trullinger. The Trullinger family was among Oregon's first settlers, arriving in the territory in 1848. They were instrumental in the development of Lake Oswego, Forest Grove, Astoria and Yamhill. Jay's grandfather, Frederick Leroy Trullinger, built a prominent garden products company (Lilly-Miller) which was led by three generations of Trullingers.
In Portland Jay attended Duniway and Cleveland, later University of Oregon, where he pledged the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and graduated from Portland State University with a degree in Mathematics. Growing up, his family spent many weekends and vacations boating on the Columbia and Willamette instilling Jay's love of the water and watercraft. In 1966 he joined the US Coast Guard Reserve. As an adult, Jay took many annual boating trips with friends through the US and Canadian San Juans.
Jay spent a 34-year career in IT with PP &L. After his retirement in 2000 he started Trullinger IT Solutions, a tech business solving computer problems. Jay was "The Computer Guy" and any Starbucks was his office. He enlightened lives with his general knowledge and thoughtful conversations.
He was a long-time member of MAC where he helped organize the City League Squash program. He was active in Portland Bocce League, Portland Mac User Group, and Institute of Science Engineering and Public Policy. Jay loved the time he spent with friends. Conversations over coffee or lunch would be part of any day. He embraced learning and technology. Classical music and outdoor concerts were always part of his summer enjoyment. And, Jay's dog radar was "on steroids". He never met a dog he didn't like.
Jay loved his family, extended and immediate. He is survived by his wife, Becky Botsford Trullinger, daughter, Jamie; son, Mason (Melissa) and their children Elise and Bennett; and brother Sid Woodbury.
Jay's family and friends knew him to be intelligent and kind. All who loved him will hold his memory closely.
A celebration of his life will include a dog walk and be held 10:00am, July 14th at The Fields Neighborhood Park, NW 11 and Overton.
The family asks that any contributions be made in Jay's name to your local Humane Society for rescue dogs.

This really saddens me. Jay was outspoken and helpful in changing some of my tone at the meetings, and helping with ideas for the group. I did not know him well beyond PMUG, but he will be missed.
