I worked for Jay at SCM from 1965 to 1968 where he was my great mentor in sales. We were friends for 50 years and kept in touch for enjoyment of dining, gambling and golf. My wife Joni and I will miss our times together in Truckee and Reno. Jay was a wonderful friend who will be missed. Jack McCormick
