Jay Uiberall, the general manager of Alfred’s and part owner of Dyer’s and Automatic Slim’s Downtown, and also of Ubee’s on Highland, died Saturday night. He fell of his balcony at his home on Pickwick Lake, and reportedly broke his neck and was killed.
I didn’t know Jay well, but based on the number of sad faces I saw around Downtown on Sunday, it’s obvious he was a great guy who will be deeply missed. I will think of him the next time I order a double-double at Dyer’s. My deepest condolences to his family and to the many friends who will miss him.
First Leonard’s closes and now this… sad weekend… someone give me some positive news to report.
