Jay R. Trego

Jay R. Trego, age 81, husband of Elaine M. (Mulcrone) Trego, lifelong resident of Phoenixville, PA, passed away on Sunday, September 1, 2019 in the Phoenixville Hospital. Born on April 6, 1938 in Phoenixville, PA, he was a son of the late Ray and Ruth (Emery) Trego. Mr. Trego worked in the banking industry for Industrial Valley Bank, then Wells Fargo, retiring after 30 years as a Regional Operations Vice President. After his retirement, he also worked several positions within the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board over the course of 17 years. Mr. Trego was a member of St. Peter's Pikeland United Church of Christ, where he had formerly served as a Deacon and building fund Treasurer. An active member of his community, he was the former Auditor for East Pikeland Township for over 20 years, Treasurer for the Chester County United Fund, and the Chairman for the BBIC Investment Club. He had served as Treasurer for the Phoenixville Hospital Building Fund, and as a board member of both the Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce and Morris Cemetery. Mr. Trego was a 50 year member of the Pottsgrove Sportsman Club, and a 40 year member of the Pottstown Dart League. Mr. Trego enjoyed classic cars, especially his 1957 Chevy. He was a fan of NASCAR, the Phillies, the Eagles, and was an avid collector of coins and listener of country music. He loved attending his family's sporting events, as well as playing cards, darts, bocce, and reading. As an avid hunter and outdoorsman, he looked forward to spending time and relaxing at his Perry County cabin (Pop's Pop's Mountain House), where he especially found joy in hunting with his son and grandsons, both at the mountains and at home. In Mr. Trego's words: "I must say that I've lived a good life and there is nothing about my life that I would change. The joys, sorrows, victories, and defeats have created 81 years of great memories."
