I met Jay years ago through a local Hot Wheels Club. He was a delightful guy with a ton of personality. He would come to visit me at my Anoka house and we would trade Hot Wheels. He told me he was from Crandon Wisconsin, a place I've never heard of. He also told me that Crandon was the toilet seat capital of the world. Apparently, there was a factory there were they built toilet seats. One time he came over to my house after a Halloween function at his work. He had a Hot Wheels shirt on with Hot Wheels cars sewn all over it and a piece of the orange RaceTrac going around his body so he could set cars on the track and dance like with a hula hoop and the cars would race around his body! it was hilarious  yet  incredibly creative. And that's my eternal picture of Jay and his little Hot Wheels Halloween costume. It was precious. I feel fortunate that I had the privilege to know Jay and he will remain a prince of a man in my mind.  My thoughts to his family
