Jay, I was really upset that I didn't get to see you today, but I asked Libby to tell you I wished I was there. I wish the last time I talked to you I wasn't mad. This past week it has been amazing to see how YOU have brought people together. Not just Germantown either, but everywhere. I will surely miss ya, jay!

I didn't really know Jay and haven't seen him since I was a kid growing up in Germantown, but I understand the magnitude of this loss and feel the deepest sympathy for his family and closest friends. Tragic accidents are very difficult to understand. Rest easy, Jay, and say hello to Lonnie for me.

In a circle; there is no beginning or ending, and Jay has created the biggest circle that I have ever seen. Although his passing is tragic; I have been humbled and touched by the outpour of condolence and support that I have witnessed. May your family somehow find serenity within your circle Jay “Bird” and may god be with you on your journey. Ron and Victoria Huntsman
