I was deeply saddened to learn of Jay’s passing, even though I only just found out after searching for him. I worked with Jay at Stewart & Stevenson, and we shared many good memories together. He was more than just a coworker—he was a true friend. I’ll always remember the dinners we had with him and his mother, Bertie, and especially how he was there for me when I had a heart attack back in 1990, making sure I got to the hospital safely driving me there. That’s just the kind of person he was—caring and dependable.
It hurts to know he’s gone, but I’ll always remember him with gratitude and respect. My sincere condolences to his loved ones, even if this message comes late. He made a difference in my life, and I won’t forget him.

I knew Jay for 50 years. He and I were very good friends. He loved his Blue Bell ice cream, with cherry pie filling.
