Such special memories of a unique, wonderful guy. I keep one of Jay’s paintings in my office to help keep what I learned from Jay in my thoughts. My best to his family.

My wife Nancy and I are so sorry to learn of Jay's death. I enjoyed meeting and working with him during his days as President and owner of Martin Gillet. Our thoughts go out to Barbara, Jeff, and the rest of his family.

Jay was so much more than my boss at Martin Gillet. Jay treated me like family. He was my mentor who gave me a chance in a new career, taught me so much while allowing me to make my own mistakes. His passion for his business was like no other. I was so fortunate to be part of the Martin Gillet family and remember the 5 1/2 years as some of the best in my life. Barbara, Jay touched me and so many others in such wonderful ways. He was truely one of a kind. Good health to you and your family and thanks for sharing Jay with his extended family. With love, Flip
