Was so shocked to learn of Jay"s passing today. I have wondered of him often and it always made me smile., it's so easy to lose touch. But as I recalled the moments the he made an impact in my catalog of memories, nothing will stand out more than the commonality of every single one. They each bring a force of positivity, smiles and enduring kindness as the themes of our interactions. Jay was a good friend and a good man. So sorry for your loss. So grateful I was lucky enough to know him.
