We were all very sad to hear the news about Jay. What a huge loss to the Cobra community and all the people he has touched over the years.

We first met Jay when we were considering purchasing Hurricane Motorsports and met with him in Texas. He was a true champion of the brand and was incredibly dedicated to the company and its future. We got an education on Hurricane and all things Cobra that day and Jay was fantastic to work with. Once we had finished with all the details it was off to Jay's man/car cave to round out the afternoon. An amazing collection of cars and trophies really illustrates his true passion. Mix that with a little whiskey and some cards and you really get the feel of the place.

We went to Jay's favorite steak house that night and finished up a great day with a great guy. Jay was instrumental in the acquisition of Hurricane and we have been friends ever since.

Jay loved to hang with the boys and talk cars. The picture is from a Texas Cobra Meet and Jay is holding court on a topic unknown. Always welcome at the Hurricane trailer and always spicing up the conversation.

Jay had a huge heart and impacted so many lives. His work with Operation Comfort and Wounded Warriors is to be commended.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you my friend. We'll miss you.

Mike, Steve, Monty, Jason and the Hurricane Family
