Jay was one of the 1st PE’s and business managers I worked with. Interesting, intelligent, personable, and accomplished. I also enjoyed watching him carry a full cup of coffee wherever he went, and always topping it off prior to hurrying off to a meeting. A great person indeed!

I enjoyed teaching chemistry with Jay at Oxnard College. He was a joy to work with and loved his students. He shared with them life lessons and he had many to share. Rest In Peace my friend. You had a rich and wonderful life. You will be missed by so many who shared your humor, wit and love.
