I´m so sorry to hear of Jays passings. I have been thinking of all our friends lately and wanted to reach out to Jay! Last phone number was not working. Googled his name, and saw the notice of his passing. I am so sorry for your loss. I was with Bob and Penny Barnicle today talking about long time friends, and missing contact.
