To all of the Crowley Family, My heart is saddened at the news of Jay's death. I have not seen him often since our days at Wentworth together. I was fortunate to have spent time at your house with the family back then and I loved the spirit and generosity that was abundant within that family. Jay was a great guy to be around and always kind to people around him. He was the type of person that I was proud to have known in my life. My deepest sympathies are extended for your loss and Jay's memory shall live on in our hearts forever.
