Dr Alkoury,

Please accept my condolences and my prayers. Jay and I met just once at a Rio holiday party, yet his charm and sense of humor left a delightful impression. Holding you and your family in my thoughts.

It was an honor and pleasure to have
known you all these years. My sympathies to your dear family. Sleep well, Jay, you will be missed.

Jay was a fine man and an excellent attorney, whose gift was to always share the joy of his wonderful sense of humor with others. He will be missed by many.

I knew Jay through his work relationship with my father and became good friends of his son Eric in our teens. Jay is one of those men who I chose to model my life after; work hard, be sincere, have fun. Love and miss you Jay.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

I met Mr. Dushoff on only a few occasions, so knew about him mostly from my late father, Bill Lenihan, who was a right of way appraiser for ADOT for many years. In that capacity and in other appraisal work, dad came to know and to greatly respect Mr. Dushoff. He told us that Mr. Dushoff was not only an excellent attorney, but also one of the finest and most honest men he had ever known. My deepest sympathy to his family in the loss of this good man.

We will love and miss you greatly Jay!!!

Jay was a remarkable lawyer who I will remember for his passion for property rights. He connected the dots between property rights and liberty. He understood so well how one's lifetime could be upended when their property was taken by the goverment and they were not treated fairly. Jay fought for so many over his career and won the respect of all for the way he practiced law. He will be hard to replace and we will miss him.-Joseph T. Waldo Norfolk,Virginia

I've been a colleague of Jay's for the past few years in a group of property rights lawyers from across the country, and I am very sad to hear of his passing, He could be counted on to add the voice of reason and experience to our discussions, and I always looked for his input since he had what I would call "the long view" -- no nonsense, straight to the point, and right on the money. I will miss him and his wise counsel.
