  Just when I thought I couldn’t love Jay as a dude any more, he shows us real emotion over the loss of a dear friend.  RIP Dave, and Jay, thanks for honoring him and showing the world….its ok to care.  😢 🙏🏼👏🏼

  Wow, I'm in tears. I only know Dave from this channel. But I still feel like I lost a friend. I know you care deeply for your friends and your employees like they're family. He will be remembered fondly

  Hearing about the loss of Dave hurt. I really liked him when he showed up in your videos. So sorry for your loss, to everyone who is affected by his passing.<br><br>On a happier note: These videos are my favorite of all you do. The behind the scenes, hearing a little from the guys too, is lovely.

  God rest and keep David Killackey; prayers and condolences for his family and friends.<br>Some of you may remember it was David who grabbed Jay when the White steam car sprayed<br>him with gas and ignited his upper torso; David grabbed Jay and literally smothered the flames<br>by hugging Jay into his chest, then called 911 and put out the fire on the vehicle also.<br>A hero, not just a decades-long friend. The world could use a few more like him.<br>- Ed on the Ridge

  Sad about Dave. &nbsp;To me, Jay&apos;s response highlights the respect Jay has for these craftsmen. &nbsp;They seem more than that. &nbsp;They are his family. &nbsp;Real class!
