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 is now living in Bullhead City, Arizona after movinig from Albquerque to Laughlin after his retirement from working for 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 to enjoy the fruits of his labors, however, have been thwarted with kidney failure and a recent diagnosis of Parkenson's Disease.  Not exactly the best way to spend your retirement years, that's for sure.  I'm hoping that scientific breakthroughs will make his life a bit more pleasant.  As of July, 2025, they may have a way of regenerating kidneys soon.  Jay shares a great house with his son Vernon and his daughter, Robyn.
