I knew Jay for 50 years originally as a business acquaintance.   But once Jay met you, you were his friend.  Jay was always a loyal and uplifting friend.   I miss him dearly.  God Bless you Jay!

The Light of God surrounds you…
The Love of God enfolds you…
The Power of God protects you…
The Presence of God Watches over you…
Wherever you are God is.
AMEN


Great guy! I will miss him... Prayers and condolences to family and friends.

As has been said , Jay was a gentleman. And he was a real "pro" at his work in the best sense of that word. We could always count on what he said. He cared about people, possessed great humility and empathy and laughed easily.  

I had the pleasure of speaking with Jay when he would call our office.  He always put a smile on my face with the funny way he would ask to speak with someone or a little joke he would tell.
No matter what type of day I was having, I was a happier person after visiting with Jay!

Eternal rest, grant unto him, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon him.
May the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.

I have had the privileges of knowing Jay for quite a long time. He is very smart very thoughtful, honorable and very trust worthy. I have been honored to be part of his yearly Jabara night and sometimes private gatherings with other friends. It has been my honor to know you Jay.

You will be deeply missed

Jay and I have been close friends for many years.  He has always been a bright light in my life.  I sorely miss him as I am sure you and all of his friends do.  He and I would talk often and I would always feel more relaxed and ready to take on the world after our conversations.  he was the consummate Gentleman and treated everyone with the utmost respect regardless of their station in life. He was very patriotic and great American.  May he  rest in peace.   

There was no finer individual or friend than Jay Samra - always respectful and kind.    He highly valued and was very loyal to his friends, so it was always a pleasure to get to see him.   What a gentleman !    His presence will be missed by many of us, and I especially will miss the 50 plus year friendship that he and I shared.   Until we meet again Jay, safe travels.

Jay was such a good friend and associate for many years. Jay will be greatly missed by me. What a wonderful honor it was to know him and work with him. I will always remember his integrity, keen mind and sense of humor. His attention to detail in real estate transactions was superior.  Thank you Jay, I miss you my friend.
