I can't believe it. It took me a little to remember how I knew Jay.
Jay helped me at Thunderbolt at the end of 2013 with my car (subaru) after that monsoon we experienced. I thought something was wrong with the turbo cause smoke came out the back and Jay took a look at it and assured me everything was ok. I said how can you be sure? He said he was a subaru master tech. I couldn't believe it - in time of need, I find Jay, a master tech. It was like someone set that meeting up and I'm grateful for the encounter.
I didn't interact much with him other than that one time and meeting him again at the last VIR event, but I didn't need to in order to realize what a great guy he was. He seemed a truly caring and sincere person and someone that I would definitely have gotten to know better over the years.
I will miss the time we never got to spend together.
Prayers to his family.
God Speed, Jay.
