Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away... Post by: pmull on July 11, 2013, 11:56:14 AM He had told us a while back that he was sick. I was concerned when he had not posted in a long time.

Post by: Hannibal Lecter, MD on July 11, 2013, 01:52:27 PM Sad news indeed. Double nickel had relayed the message over on another site, and I came here to see if it had been posted. He made some nice contributions here in the early days, IIRC.
Prayers for his family. Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away... Post by: Leroy on July 11, 2013, 02:57:10 PM :( That's sad news indeed...Prayers for his family :pray:

Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away... Post by: Rolltide in CA on July 18, 2013, 04:55:28 PM Cancer sucks. Jay was such a real person, funny, die-hard conservative, generous, and well connected in the Bama football camp (as you'll notice from some of his prior posts). While I only saw him face to face once, we talked quite a bit over the past 2 years.
He turned me on to this website... Please pray for his wife Kathryn and his young son Caleb. He went way too soon. I know he is with the Lord and look forward to seeing him again on the other side.

Post by: S-AL-Tider on October 17, 2013, 06:26:06 PM Jay was a great family man and a great friend. We talked many times about my
COPD and his cancer. I lost both my parents to cancer (lung) and knew a little about what he was dealing with. Though it's a sad day for the bama nation losing our friend,take heart he is no longer suffering in a better place. Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away...

Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away... Post by: XBAMA on November 14, 2018, 07:43:53 AM I went back and read some of the exchanges he and I had on tweeter with
rival fans over the years ... that boy could sure bring it man ... I miss having him around ... :( Title: Re: Navy chief has passed away... Post by: XBAMA on November 14, 2018, 07:55:50 AM this ... to me anyway ... sums up my friend from Jackson Al.
and how I will remember him Quote Jay and I met at one of those company dinner get-togethers (I think Christmas) where we were the male spouses in attendance. All of the women spouses were doing ther thing and me and Jay were just sitting there. Finally we started talking and found out that we were both sailors in the worlds greatest Navy. The rest is history. The party came alive. The table we were sitting became the table to be at and we had a blast. Somone won a bottle of Jack Daniels (Honey). Though we were not supposed to, we opened it anyway. The restaurant wanted to end the party on us. After that company dinners were never the same. Everyone knew that Jay and Roy would sit together. Company dinners will never be without you Jay. Rest in Peace my brother. Posted by Roy from Lexington Park, MD - Friend on July 15, 2013 Quote met Muddy at Naval Air Station Patuxent River. We played softball together on the Chief's team for 2 years. He was no Babe Ruth but boy did he have the heart of a champion! Any time he would make an error in the field or not hit the ball well he would get down on his self and we would always try to get him to get over it, which proved to be no easy task. Now when he did make a good play or get a good hit you could see his face light up. I think if everyone on the team had his heart we would have been unbeatable. For those that knew him this is no surprise, but Jay was that person that would do anything for you. Jay also was a huge Crimson Tide fan and well I'm not, but Jay this one is for you. Roll Tide! Muddy you were a good friend and a brother to all of the Chiefs that knew you. You will be greatly missed! Rest in peace my brother.
