He was one of my first buddies here and did me a bunch of help. If anyone has more details, please post them
SAD SAD SAD....a loss of a very talented man who was so giving to all.
RIP
godspeed Jay , loved your storys..
Wow, what a bummer!!!! Haven't seen him on here for awhile, but the information he shared with others was always most accurate and usually had a good "been there, done that" episode to go with the advice.....
Guess when it's your time............
RIP, Jay
Whew, what a year this has been for losing people. :( I am so very sorry to learn of his passing. He was always such a great asset to every forum he frequented and seemed to be one h*** of a guy. When I read this I thought, no, not the guy with the Buick powered roadster, but it was really him.
My condolences to his family and friends, and may he be driving that great highway in the sky behind the wheel of one of his cool hot rods.

Oh man! He was posting on another forum just last week or so about some steering column stuff. RIP Jay.
I first met Jay several years ago during the "hot cars & hot cuisine" cruise in So-Cal. Jay was extremely knowledgable and would share that knowledge with anyone. Great sense of humor and just fun to be around.
We've lost a good man, condolences to his wife and family.
Mick
Our prayers go out to his family,wow enough already.
I guess with as many members as are on here we are gonna take some hits.
Just seems like more then our share this year, when you think of all the talent
and years of experience thats been lost along with our friends it's mind Mindboggling.
One things for sure he's in good company and I hope they save me a seat at that big drag strip in the sky. Kurt

Hello everyone---This is Jay's wife Gay. I'm so, so sorry that all of you found out the way you did. Writing all of you was on my list of things to do, but I seem kind of paralysed {wrong sp,}. He died Sun. Nov. 15 of a massive brain bleed. They air lifted him from here to Vegas. Our daughter and son{inlaw{ live there and were able to meet the helicopter and walk into the hospital with him. Deb,daughter and I got there about 3 hours later. He was gone probably before we got there but they kept him on life support as long as we need him. Our pregnant granddaughter and boyfriend were able to be there, too. Our other two grandchildren live out of state. We thank all of you for your messages today. I especially liked the ones about him driving on the heavenly roads. C9 used that name because our last name is Carnine. We will be reading further posts. We are so deeply sorry for the loss of such an awesome, wise, loving, super intelligent man.

When I learned of C9's (Jay's) death, out of curiosity I looked back through my earliest available postings (those after the computer crash) to read his contributions to them. His was the very first one. Interesting, knowledgeable, and well written, as were they all.
We have lost a good one.
Condolences to his family.

Can't believe Jay is gone. A man who helped me out alot with my build on a 348 engine. RIP Jay.
It's always sad to lose such a valuable member here on CHR. You will be missed Jay, RIP. Our condolences go out to your family and our prayers are with you.

I first heard of Jay passing on the RRT last night; it was a shock, to say the least. He will certainly be missed, and my most sincere condolences are offered to his family and friends.
Gay, I think you can tell from the posts on here and other forums that Jay was a very respected man who many considered a friend, even though most of us never had the honor of meeting him in person. Jay's character and regard for others came across in spades whenever he posted.........most often to try to help someone out in any way he could.
We share your loss and thank you for taking time during this difficult period to speak with us about Jay. Please check back with us often let us know how you and the rest of your family are doing. We care.:)
Don
Gay and family. I am so sorry to hear of Jay's passing. The family will be in our prayers. This is such a terrible loss to so many. I will miss reading his posts. It was always a bright spot in my day.
I always enjoyed his constructive advice, had a question some topic and he called and gave me the specifics on the project, never met him but was a pleasure to here from him on the site. Our prayer for all his family and friends he touched.

Jay will be missed. I looked back at a few of my threads and reread some usefull words and helpfull advice. I send my condolences out to Gay and your family. I hope he's hot rodding where ever he may be now!
If you havent read Jay's book stuff, you are missing a super neat trip back into the old hot rodding days.....do a search on HAMB regarding "The red roadster" or "Doofus and Whiny"
I really brings back memories of the old days.....and it is a great way to remember Jay's talents.

Thanks Mike for bringing up 'Doofus and Whiny'. Jay will be missed by many. Seemed to always have good advice. Godspeed Jay!
sad to hear of his passing, cruise the heavenly highways brother...............scooter
I haven't posted here in a long time, but just saw the thread of Jay's passing on the HAMB... When I got my deuce a few years ago there were a handful of older guys that stuck out as helpful and knowledgable, without being "know it alls"... Jay was at the top of that list. When I had lots of questions, He was always willing to help me out with a problem and never talked down to me because i was a rookie rodder. It's really a loss to the hot rod community to not have him around anymore. Just sort of makes you realize life is not infinite. He will certainly be missed. Thanks for everything C9.... Peace be with you. -Joe Barr
