You will always live in our hearts and prayers. I've known Jay for many years. A fond memory is his winning the New England SCCA driving Championship in his first year out driving his black Formula Ford. Jay had a bullet proof sense of humor and a great chuckle when he laughed. Thanks for being a part of my life.

I went to high school with Jay and Kandy. I haven't seen him in a few years, but I'll always remember the fun times we had when he was around. My condolences to the family.

I am so sorry about Jay - he was a good person and he lived his life to the fullest. He was always on some wonderful adventure - It doesn't seem fair that he was taken so young -
it seems the brightest stars burn briefest ... but are most stunning - like Jay was :)
I hope Jack and he are tipping back a few beers sailing around some beautiful place. I know he knew he was loved so much by you these past few weeks and I am so glad you got to spend the time together.
Sending lots of love
