Among all his other duties, Jay taught us SCUBA during one of our voyages to Bermuda.

He was a good teacher and I have enjoyed many fun underwater experiences since his training.

Fair winds Jay.

Dave,

Am sorry to hear of Jay's passing. He was a very important part of my learning process in all things Marine. For that I will always be grateful. Please give my condolences to the family. 

All the Best, Drew

So sorry to hear that. A great guy, always a smile.

Great memories Jim.They were some good years at Tabor and primarily due to the schooner and the friends we made.

From 1970-1972 I did 5 Bermuda cruises with Jay (numerous dives too), a Bahamas and two Charlestons.  Even attended his wedding reception in 1971.  Looking back on those days I'm still happy that I keep in touch with Karen & Christine (OK Dave Williams too).  I miss Cap, Mrs G. and Jay.  Still remember Jay's, long "Mow-ning" every morning on watch.  I still use it.

My folks always  commented that when my brother, Bob '71, and I attended Tabor they were the best years.  Guess it was because they got us out of the house.

Dave,

Thanks for posting this. He was such a great man and put in a lot of time at the Tabor waterfront. He will be missed!
