Condolences

    Roger Walker writes,
    Dear Rajni, Sachin and Parag. You have my sincerest condolences for your loss. I share in your loss as dose anyone that had the good fortune to know Jay. Jay and I were more than co-workers at the Chrysler Newark Assembly Plant, we were friends. I could always depend on him to answer any electrical problem that arose at the plant, even in the middle of the night. He was a highly valued and respected member of the Facility Engineering Team. Jay and I had just spoken on the phone in early August and planned to go to the Maha-Raja for lunch; like He, Jack Hemmert and I did when we worked together many years ago.
