Jay was the best ski instructor a kid could ask for; and the # 1 reason why I became an apprentice ski instructor @ Blizzard Ski School. He was there when I made “Top Black” in 1992. To say Jay changed the lives of a 1,000 kids would be a gross understatement of the breadth of his impact. It’s easily more than 10,000. So Jay, tell us there’s a bluebird milk run in heaven, no lift lines, and Jesus lets the kids have 1st tracks. #TheBestOfTheBest

Jay was the kind of leader who would show his support for you, even if he didn’t always agree with you. He always cared. His quick wit, sense of humor, and passion for our Vikes will surely be missed.

May the Lord bless you with comfort during this time. My heartfelt condolences.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family. We surely will miss the presence of a truly lovable and always smiling Jay, may god give him the peace that he seeks.

He used to sit across my workstation during his visit to the India office location and I can still picture the same very hard to believe that you are gone forever!!

Please accept my sincere condolences.

It is hard to believe that you are not here amongst us. Your liveliness and humor will be missed as much your undying support for your friends and coworkers.

Jay has been great leader and a very jovial personality. He was always there to support his entire team, even on the global scale. My deepest condolences to his family. May his soul rest in peace.

When I joined the organization I was really fortunate that I got to meet Jay in person. His smiling face, positive thoughts gave me immense motivation to start my journey with Ameriprise Financial. I am deeply saddened, he will be truly missed. Sending healing prayers to Jay's family.

Jay was a great leader at work. He always had such a great sense of humor he brought to meetings. He helped me get my job, and was a very kind and thoughtful person. He will be greatly missed.
