Jay and I have known each other for many years and have also seen a lot of ups and downs, both financially and in relationships. We're mostly kind of like brothers, and in that kind of relationship, you do get those times when you don't see eye-to-eye and stop talking to each other, sometimes for years. But we have experienced a lot together and have some great memories.

He did run two websites, one a photo tour of Las Vegas and the other the same of Southern Louisiana. Because of circumstances, he did lose interest in them. Meanwhile, he still has a personal website, www.jaybarrymore.com, 

Jay was living in Laughlin, Nevada after retiring from his employ with the State of New Mexico for many years. He did quite well for himself, being able to retire at 62 with a fairly decent retirement income. His idea was to enjoy the fruits of his labors and I would imagine that he somewhat does, but a lot of his retirement plans have been put on the back burner because of health concerns. The old saying, "The best laid plans of mice and men sometimes go awry," seems to be apropos in this case. He now lives across the river in Bullhead City, Arizona sharing a great house with his son Vernon and his daughter, Robyn.
