As fellow boaters, my husband and I are so grateful to have known Jay while he lived at Leeward Marina. I can not express the sorrow we felt when we heard of his passing. His smile, fun spirit, and huge heart will be greatly missed. Fond memories will live forever and our deepest sympathies are extended to the Hick's family. My our friend have fair winds and a following sea on his eternal journey.

My deepest sympathies to the Hick's Family. I have only worked with Jay for a short time, but his quick wit and ability to march to the drummers of his own choosing will stay with me.

Go ndeireadh an bothar leat. Slan mo chara.
