I only met Jay once, but I read his columns for years, first at the Ithaca Journal and then here at the Times Union.

Jay and my stepfather Tom went to college together and both ran cross-country. We had lunch in Albany a few years ago, and he seemed like a great guy. I didn’t want to mention how I knew him on his blog because Tom died of pancreatic cancer two summers ago (11 months after diagnosis). I don’t think he or his family needed to hear that, and it would have been gratuitous to say something about it.

As someone who’s been there, though, my heart goes out to his family. You never get over this kind of loss; you just learn to go on despite it.

I read his blog, as I do yours and hope that his family finds comfort in knowing he will be missed by those that knew Jay personally as well as those that only knew him through his blog.
