An active and giving Member of SPIE and the optics and photonics community, his presence at our events and in the community will be dearly missed. In his memory, his family has asked for donations to SPIE. SPIE will apply any donations in his memory to the Jenoptik-SPIE Photonics Technician Scholarship, which Jay was instrumental in starting.
