I had the joy and honor of working with Jay for many years on CCS,
writing manuals, listening to his stories, and learning more from him
than from any other chemist I can think of.  I feel sorry for the Lord
above if there is anything amiss in the world of safety there!  Please
give my best to his family.

Thanks for letting us know, Neal.

I met Jay at a crossroads in my career.  It was in the early 80‚s and I was starting to dabble in lab safety when my boss was hosting Jay for a chemistry event In Montreal and invited me to join them for lunch.  Jay really encouraged me to forge ahead and it is not long after that I went back to school to study industrial hygiene and committed my career to the cause on a full-time basis.

The fundamentals of lab safety that I learned from Jay Young and the many references he published really helped build the foundation of my own professional practice.  I am sure many others can say the same.  If it is true that teaching is the key to immortality then Jay‚s impact will indeed be everlasting∑
