I knew Jay when he lived in Ann Arbor. We completely lost touch when he moved to Boston, but were still great friends up till then. I still drive past his street and smile at the house he bought here, after moving out of the rental that was slated to be torn down for development. At one time I was to have taken over the third floor and do "whatever I wanted" to make it livable. I talked to him on the phone at MW in Boston, when he first started working there. He told me it was time for cookies: someone in the office had a Mom who baked cookies and brought them in on Fridays, so the conversation was short. That was the last time I spoke with him. Its Good Friday, 2008. Not sure what led me to look him up on google today, but finding this article puts to rest some questions as to not hearing from him for such a long time. I'm also stunned. If you still see these, would you please contact me and let me know what happened. Many thanks Mike mwm822@hotmail.com Hello … I knew Jay when he lived in Ann Arbor.

I was friends with Jay back in school, but hadn't seen him since the late 80's. I remember him as being good company - one who was naturally upbeat and also at ease with himself. R.I.P.

I first meet him in Paris when he was working for Ford. I spent a weekend with Jay in P-Town and have often wondered what happened to him - if you are not tired of talking about I would like to know.

Jay's death affected me deeply, and in thinking about it, still brings me great sadness. Has there ever been any conclusive findings about the circumstances of his death? I've tried to find the Boston Coroner's office report of his death, but no luck.... hope you are doing well these days. Geoff and I moved to Ottawa in January, which has been a good move for us.

I had the privilege of working for Jay when he was here in Ann Arbor. I was shocked when I heard of his death. It has been a year since he passed away and I still check his web site, pretty regularly. I am hoping to get privately in touch with you and I would be grateful if you could write me to the email address that I left. Andrea Hi Matthew.

I had lived in the same dorm that Jay had lived in and was a friend of his sister while she attended USD. Jay and I weren't best friends or anything like that while we were at the U, but his death made me do some deep reevaluating of my life. I remember him walking around our floor going in and out of the building with his cello case. I always thought he seemed to be such an intriguing guy, but I never got to know as well as I should have. I would like to ask you some questions if you would be willing to respond to the e-mail address I provided. I was shocked to read about Jay’s death in the USD Alumni newspaper a few months back.
