I met Jay during our high school years in Doha. We weren't close and had different friends we hanged out with but I never forget the kindness he showed me. My basketball skills were pretty bad and he came up and showed me few pointers on how to improve. Made my day when everyone else was teasing and making fun, he decided to show compassion . RIP Jay.
