Jay sold me my first stereo with the greatest components, and installed it for me. We remained good friends. He was a pro windsurfer respected by many who surfed all the waters of, at least, the middle of the Bay in the SM bridge area.

Jay sold me a stereo system in 1978 and his charm was as successful as his selling skills. He installed the system for me and I was hooked. He was a very special person. We dated for a year or so and I kept in touch for more than 20 years. Last time we spoke was around 2003 and in looking him up (2011) I am saddened to mourn the loss so late. I would like to think Jay would say, "Better late than never." He is missed more than he could ever know.

I have known Jay since 1989, and he was a wonderful guy and an amazing engineer. The best surprise I had was when I enrolled in a conversational spanish class and Jay was there too. We had so much fun. I will miss you Jay! may you rest in peace and people remember you with fondess.
