I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. I wish I could have just one more call with him to check in. It has been a little while since we last talked. Over the last 5 years we had MANY chats on the phone about salvaging loads of meat and livestock, and after that, we would talk about everything else under the sun! We never got a chance to meet in person, but still I felt like we were old friends. In the cargo claims world, it was always a relief knowing I could just make one call to Jay for a load of cattle or a trailer of combos, and he would just take over and handle EVERYTHING. Jay knew everyone and everything having to do with meat of all kinds and quality. When he was sick for a while, he was sorely missed, and he will be sorely missed now. He would always ask me about my kids, and he loved talking about his kids and grandkids. I will miss his calls to check in with me. He was always a bright spot in a stressful job. Rest in peace, Jay. You were loved and appreciated.
