I was saddened to hear of Jay’s passing. I had the pleasure of working with him on the Skokie PD and was his Training Officer when he returned to the Department . I have many fond memories of the five weeks we rode together. Jay was one of the good guys and Julia and his family have my sincere condolences.
May his memory be a blessing to you all.

Over the years maybe not so long ago when I first met Jay I realized he was a very special Police Officer. He had a very unusual background as a Law Professor. It was the first time I met a new Police Officer with a Degree in Law Enforcement. It was the beginning of Unions representing Law Enforcement. He was my go to Legal Eagle. Then I met his beautiful Bride Julia the former Miss Kentucky. The history of them together was very special. I’ll miss Jay and his Laugh at the Moose Lodge and that partner of his Julia. May all the blessings of heaven be with his family in this time of loss!

Jay was a long time friend and in recent years a telephone buddy. He loved his family and was also an animal lover. Over the past number of years Jay suffered numerous medical issues but always put up a valiant fight. I will miss our conversations and will miss Jay. I'm sure when he arrived at the Rainbow Bridge he was greeted by his love Bella and they can again enjoy their long walks together. Love you my dear friend. My deepest sympathies to the entire Radom family
