Jay had a real zest for life and an infectious personality. He brought joy and laughter to all who knew him. He loved to spend time with friends listening to music, live or recorded, and sharing a drink, a story and a laugh. He was an avid fan of both the Miami Dolphins and the New York Yankees. He also enjoyed watching college basketball, especially UConn and Duke. He was passionate about animals. Most especially his own cats, Little and his “Princess” Mini.
He also loved to travel, most especially to Hawaii where he and Tory were married in 2018. They only met in 2016, but in that short period they lived a lifetime together full of love and happiness. They loved spending nights at home together, watching tv and playing a mean game of cribbage.
