  In the week after 9/11, Jay's wife finally got to fly into the Burbank Airport.  Jay pulled up to the curb but was told by. the Glendale officers he needed to move along (security was very tight).  Before he left he asked if these officers had eaten,  These officers had no place to buy food as the restaurants in the airport were closed.  Jay came back with pizzas for all these officers.....Jay is the most understated thoughtful person.  I know all this because I know one of the Glendale officers who was there.

  My brother did an electrical contracting job for Jay at his garage a decade or so back. Said he's the most genuinely nice sort you could ever meet.

  A few years ago I was at Johnny Rocket in Encino, with my son, who was 15 or 16 at the time.  On A Sunday lunch time, Mr. Leno and some of his motorbike buddies came and they sat at an outside table.  When we finished our meal, my son said I want to take a photo of him!  I said go up to him and ask him first, before taking the photo.  He walked out and I was watching him from inside waiting for finish paying our check, all of a sudden I saw Mr. Leno get up took my son's phone, gave it to one of his friends, stood by my son with his hand on his shoulder, and his friend took the photo.  It was one of the nicest thing I had witnessed.

  One of my best friends from high schools dad was an antiques/ car collector/trader and when he died of cancer, Leno came to the funeral, all the way up here in Canada, to a little unknown town to most of the country, let alone the US. All the years I knew him, he never bragged or said anything about who he sold cars to, only after his death I come to find out. Jay is an incredibly grateful and humble man, just a regular car guy that happened on good fortune that allowed him to live out his car crazy fantasy like the rest of us gear heads would have given the opportunity like he's had.

  I like how Jay can steer the conversation away from the political questions tastefully.

  Jay is old school, a nice guy who resists being pulled to a political pole. When his generation is gone there will be very few nice guys. Thanks Jay.

  Met Jay once at a Chinese restaurant with his wife. One of the nicest celebrities I've ever met, made a few jokes and wished us well. Super chill and took the time to say hi to everyone.

  I met Jay while standing in line at a hot dog stand, inside the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas. &nbsp; He could have sent someone to bring him food. &nbsp;But, he stood in line with all of us.<br>So charming!
