Dear Greenland Family,
It´s a sincere sadness to learn of Jay´s passing.
Initially I knew Jay as a competent contractor and astute business professional. Over time the business relationship evolved into friendship. Jay was generous with his time, funny and a good source for sage advice about business and personal matters.
I´ll always maintain a special fondness for memories of Jay and lovely Roberta.
Hope your pain of loss is short and memories of Jay last a lifetime.
