Caught up to you at Waterfire, saw your past self along the burning braziers, knew we were once again on the same path as the torchlight for your journey home illuminated the seaside.

Jay, I can't express the pain that learning of your death has brought me. We had many great times shooting, fishing, camping, and talking politics. You were the only person I kept in contact with in Bennington. To this day the best meal of my life was when you, Josh Senecal and I went to Lake Shaftsbury and cooked some of my dad's homemade chili mixed with some ground venison on a fire at the camping area. We had many great times and I am so sorry I didn't make the effort to visit more often. My mom would always say how nice a person you were and how impressed she was when she talked with you. To Jay's family, I extend my deepest sympathies and hope that if there is anything that I can do to help that you let me know. Rest in Peace. Semper Fidelis
