Not sure what to say?

See you soon I'm sure!

Nancy you were a lucky woman.I can only guess how special Jay was to you! He was a gunuinely good guy to all! Mike

JAY, I have to return to say I am constantly remembering our times together at Stephen's & the tennis courts. Damn I miss you buddy!

Jay this is belated but I will always remember our gatherings at Steven's Pub and our political discussions. I regret not staying in touch when I moved to Florida. You were a friend that has not nor will be forgotten. RIP Mike Breen

Nancy & Family:

I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I can honestly say he is one of the most incredible people I've had the pleasure of meeting in my life.

The world lost a lot in Jay's passing...

I sure wish I had known and stayed in touch with Jay for over forty years, but I can only say I first met him about that long ago. I was lucky enough to be included in his circle of friends, which included Dave, Mark, and Kevin, and we established the wildly popular band known as The Cloud. We performed in numerous garages and basements, and were legends in our own minds. Then, as often happens in life, we each went our own way.

Certainly, humor may seem inappropriate now,...

Jay and I met in 1965 when he moved in three houses down the street in Vienna, Virginia. We immediately became close friends. His sense of humor, quick wit and adventurous nature made it a true pleasure(often a bit crazy) to grow up with Jay.
Years later, we would reminisce about "the old days" and more often than not, just burst out in uncontrollable laughter. Those are memories I'll treasure the rest of my life. Thank you Jay, you were a very special friend.

Nancy, I am sending you love and hope that you will find comfort in knowing so many of us care about you.
Love,
Betsy Hobbs

Jay's grace, his sense of humor, and his broad smile are memories I shall always have of him. Nancy, Bob and I wish you peace in this sad time. Our thoughts are with you. Love, Laura
