For those that new Jay Parker, I am sorry to report that Jay passed away Christmas morning after a 2 year illness.

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

Fair winds Jay.

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

Comment by Jim Potdevin on January 14, 2011 at 11:49pm: 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.

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!
