    I have missed stopping at the garage to laugh and lament with Jay. Better, you were such a
    big part of those conversations. His lifelong partner. The boss. I saw Jay in the hospital in
    Nov. 2017. I stopped by the garage to tell him my son lost his battle with addiction, but just
    talking with him led me to set the news aside. Jim loved him and those Wed. lunches. I've
    mumissed Jay since I moved away. He was an original. I'll never forget him.

    Tammy,

    Just found out about your Dad. He has an interesting background and definitely sounds like an
    outdoor person. I can certainly relate to that!!! I am sure this is not an easy time for you and the
    family. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

    Lori and I will be thinking of you and your family.

    Talk to you soon!
