Not sure what to say?

Junius was a gentleman who assisted me and my 2 daughters 9 and 11 flying back to Australia after my husband died on 17 January 1992 at 42 years of age. We kept in touch for some time- I have a photo of him and his family. Amanda who was 11 at the time told him all about her dad. He was amazing. From a stranger he became a friend on that flight. He will always be remembered by my girls and me. RIP. My surname was Quayle at the time Garry died and when he and I met.

Hi.. I met Jay on a flight from Beijing to Hong Kong. My husband Garry had just died and he was speaking to my daughters Amanda 11 and Vanessa 9. On 9 June 2025 I came across his letters to me and my girls with photos of his family. Only to google Jay to see he passed in 2012 - he spoke about Renee who was 18 at the time. My message is so late but wanted to let your family know how much he meant to me and my girls. Regards Beris (formerly Quayle)

A great man who made a huge contribution to financial markets around the world. Financial markets today are more transparent and fairer thanks to Jay's work. He never sought popularity, but rather, said what he believed. Rest in peace.
