I am stunned and saddened that Jay has passed. I knew Jay from law school and he had such an inquisitive mind and caring spirit. He was such a kind person and friend. He always made me laugh. I will miss him. My heart goes out to Jay's family.

I was sorry to learn of James' passing. He was in my 1L section at WNEC. James was a good guy. My heart goes out to his friends and family.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I have so many wonderful memories of him from Ursuline Academy to Cathedral High School. Just took a look at the 78 Pantherpix to see him in a trench coat holding a plastic chicken. He had such a great sense of humor.
Jay touched so many lives. I'll cherish the memories of him.

I am sorry to learn of Jay's passing. I met him in law school and had many classes with him. He was such a kind soul who will be truly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.
