Jay died Oct. 23, 2012, in Leawood, Kan., after a long illness.

He was born in Buenos Aires and raised in Argentina, Spain, Paraguay, and Cuba. At Princeton, Jay majored in history, joined Cap and Gown, and played freshman soccer and varsity lacrosse.

His senior-year roommates were Phil Sullivan, Dave Browning, Bruce Bringgold, Jack McKenna, Jim Shea, and Clive Chandler. He graduated magna cum laude and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

He graduated from Columbia Law School in 1964 and earned a master of laws in tax from NYU in 1971.

After a stint at Quaker Oats and completing law school, Jay worked with Nixon, Mudge, Rose, Guthrie & Alexander on Wall Street. The family moved to Hawaii in 1967 when Jay joined Case, Kay & Lynch. In 1983 they returned to the mainland, ultimately settling in Leawood, and Jay joined Hillix, Brewer, Hoffhaus & Whittaker.

Jay and Jan, his dear wife of 54 years, became world travelers, visiting more than 100 countries in the next 25 years. He retired in 1990 and obtained a master’s degree in history at the University of Kansas.

To Jan, daughters Lizabeth and Janine, and five grandchildren, the class extends its sincerest condolences. We will miss this most interesting classmate.
