    Jay made me feel good. He encouraged me always and sometimes it felt like he was the one man who understood what I was trying to do with hot rods.. We had plans to meet up a couple times but the stars where never aligned... he was always supposed to be there. Now he's not and I'm not joking when I tell you all my heart is in pieces.

    Buy his books:

    I am so saddened by Jay's passing. Although I never met him, I feel the same loss as if he were a close friend. Our prayers to you and your family, Gay. We share your pain. Fred

    " ..Gettin' cooler here today.

    Yesterday, about the same.

    Took the roadster to Saturday morning donuts.

    The gang left for the trailer auction early and I followed them down the hill 5 miles to check it out.

    Lots of box trailers - mostly Harley size - and a lot of very nice tandem aluminum open trailers.

    Parked on the side of the road, walked a 1/4 mile down a mild grade, took one look at the over 100 yard registration line, turned around and walked back.

    Guys from the donut gang did the same.

    Nice ride back on the freeway.
    Haven't driven the 32 for aboujt a week so it was especially enjoyable. "

    I/We will miss him greatly...:(

    I feel fortunate to have read his posts on the HAMB.
    He had that special style of writing that put you right in the story.
    I could actually "see","feel" and "smell" the road as he experienced it.

    I am deeply saddened for sure. He was truly an incredible wealth of knowledge and shared that wealth with us all. We had talked a bunch a few months ago about polishing wheels and bringing them back to a shine. He always steered me in the right direction.

    My prayers go out to all of us but especially his family. We all should be comforted with all that he left behind and gave to all of us. Legend for sure.

    I'm just in shock. The more I reflect, the more upset I get.
    I just talked to him a few weeks ago!
    I'm going for a ride in my roadster, even though all the gauges are out of it right now.
    One of the great ones is gone. I'm gonna miss him.

    I have his books and I recomend them for everybody that loves hotrods.

    Not all of us got to meet him in person, but we all considered him a friend.

    He will be missed and remembered always.

    I think we should retire his Avatar & C9 name here on the HAMB. I always made it a point to read what he had to say. Prayers with the family for sure................

    I never met him in person but he seemed like a very talented and wise man and I will miss seeing his avatar in many of the threads I frequent. I'm sure this place is better for having him. RIP C9.

    I'm at a loss for words. For as long as I've been here I've always enjoyed his storytelling. It's one of the things that made the HAMB so great. I feel saddened that I'll never get to meet him, and those who did are indeed fortunate. I hope his posts are archived for posterity.

    My deepest condolences to his family and friends.

  28. Jay could write a story, no doubt!!!

    Guys like him make hot rodding fun as hell! The things he wrote were always good...always!

    I wish I could've met him personally. I can only imagine what kind of guy he was up close and in his element. RIP.
     
  29. I had planned on stopping in Kingman on my way east next trip.
    He knew where I was coming from.
    Rest in peace sir.
