Jay truly was the best layout professional we could depend on. His humorous and easy natured way of life on and off the job helped our entire team thru a lot of stressful projects.
We first met on a project in Orlando where he helped me to confirm some critical tilt-wall installations. He never stopped being ready to help thru out the nexr 12 years.
We will all miss Jay.

I will never forget you hanging out, listening to me play my guitar...partying at beach week. The sand dollars we collected.
You were very kind and funny. A good friend. God Bless you and your family.
You will be missed.

To the love of my life,
We fell in love the day we met. I was your princess. No one can ever take away our 15 years together. I can still see your face and that certain way you'd look at me with such loving eyes. Years and years and years and years of memories. So many memories. So much love, so much fun, and so much laughter. I gave you my heart, and we gave each other two beautiful children. I know that you ALWAYS loved me and I'll always love you. The children and I will carry on and we will keep you close to our hearts and our minds. Scooter, my heart hurts so bad. It doesn't seem right that we go on without you. I picture you in heaven with your dad and my mom watching over us. May the good Lord bless you and keep you and the Good Book tells me we'll see each other again. Your Twist Tail forever, Trish

To Jay's Angel Friends,
Please take special care of Jay. He is one of a kind and does not always show his soft side but it is huge.
Be patient with his story telling. It is sometimes lengthy but it is always from the heart.
Be prepared to laugh at his jokes. Otherwise he will tell them again and with further explanation.
Always expect to hear his opinion. He was never bashful about sharing it.
As a friend of Jay's you can count on his loyality. It is steadfast.
Ask about his grilled "Grouper al a Scotter" recipe. It was the best. (Don't worry about the grill. He likes it well seasoned.)
One other thing. If the bucs are losing, it is best not to try to talk to him for a day or so.
And please tell my very unique, intelligent, sagittarian friend that he will always be missed and never forgotten.
Judy

My condolences and prayers go out to the Robinson family. I only knew Jay for 2 years when we worked together in St. Pete building a high rise but we seemed liked we knew each other for years. I taught him a couple of things but he taught me many that I will never forget. God has the best layout man in the business.
Thanks for the good times Jay,I will never forget you,we'll build one again someday.

Jay showed me how to dive for sand dollars in the gulf, the water was murky and I couldn't see a thing. But I knew Jay, and trusted him, and it was a time to remember. Jay would see things slightly different than most people. We would both comment and laugh at the Grackles, how they postured and taunted each other. Jay saw the beauty of something as simple as a "crazy bird". I loved to listen to his perspective of life. I was at work one day, lost in the rat race, and Jay called for me to come to his location to check something. When I got there Jay was standing by a window, and he motioned for me to come look. Out in the Gulf were some Dolphins, and from our vantage point you could see them hearding a school of fish.It was like something out of National Geographic. In retrospect we should have stood there longer. Enjoying life. I shall never forget him. And I am going to try and remember to keep perspective of what is truly important. Thanks Jay,Thanks for taking the time to point out the dolphins to me....

You shared in an unforgetable, yet brief, part of my life Jay-Bird. You & your group truly made me smile for a short while. I will not forget you or the day you rescued that lil baby bird. That was the point I knew you were a soft touch. I know you're resting peacefully in his arms with all your burdens lifted. One day we shall meet again, until then, my heart is with you my special friend...
