Jay and I shared many wonderful times. We started this journey as children at the Hotel del Coronado. From there Beverly Hills High and on to a shared passion of aviation. Both of us loved airplanes and obtained many professional licenses. We
always loved each other´s aviation stories. One time we flew to a
remote Baha California airstrip at Punta Chivato. Jay loved adventure. It was always a pleasure spending time together and shearing life.
I will miss my great friend!

"The only way to stay alive forever is to live in someone´s heart." You used to tell me that. And you were right. Jett and I love you forever and ever. Thank you for sharing the same space and time here with us while we were blessed enough to be loved by you you´re alive forever.
