JAY EITEL

As the new caretaker of his last creation,

Jay was one of the most honorable and decent men I've ever had the pleasure to have known. His intelligence, wisdom and cleverness were unsurpassed. Jay treated people from all walks of life the same, with dignity. He will be missed by literally hundreds, if not thousands of people. Our condolences to Esther, John, and the extended family.

For those of you who didnot have the pleasure of visiting his garage/workshop, as I did, I remember it so well. The floor was an extremely smooth cement, no drops of oil, neither any dust. The little room for handwashing, etc. was immaculate, too with a Crystal Chandelier! How very dear he was.

I met Jay through the local SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) chapter. A quiet, unassuming guy that just came alive when you started talking cars! I recall the first time seeing his Corvair project and was in complete awe of his engineering skills and craftsmanship. We'd run into each other at car events or trade shows, and he was always one of the nicest people I've ever met. I have no doubt he's already working on improving St. Peter's transportation system.
