Jay was suffering from a heart condition for a long time and knew how temporal life was, but he enjoyed his life aboud a yacht he moored in the Chesapeake Bay. He was always in love with the marine environment. I recall going swimming at his apartment in the Westover Complex that had the Hawaiian lava stone and lush garden pool. I believe that he is out of pain now. He prayed with me to receive Christ as his saviour just weeks before his death, so I believe that he awaits us in Heaven.
