Warren Bosworth was one of a kind. More than a decade after his passing, I still miss Warren who I was privileged and honored to have him help me by customizing my rackets, which really upped the game, at a time when I was long past my prime and was spending more time in courts of law thank on tennis courts. There will NEVER be another Warren Bosorth, although Jay is stepping into his shoes at the racquet customization business they built together. So long Warren. We love and miss you.

Jay and Barbara, I have to say in my 30 years in tennis, Warren was the most unigue individual I ever met. A clear "out of the box" thinker, Warren pioneered bringing science to the top levels of the game. His observation skills and attention to detail were second to none. And, most importantly, he was the greatest gentlemen and a real pleasure with which to work. My prayers are with you and your family.

The passing of Warren brought back many fond memories of our days in the brokerage business, and of course our love of tennis. I am sure he will be missed by his family and friends. My best to Babara and the kids.
