Sad to hear another of my contemporaries has died.
I remember volunteering to go for an early morning jog with Jay at one IRA or NCTE conference at California.
I quickly realised I was way out my depth once we started— what I understood by “jogging” ( slow plod) was quite different to what it meant for Jay ( running at about 80% effort).
In the few discussions we had about reading theory I found myself equally out of my depth..— he could defend his point of view with a passion that put those who didn’t know their stuff firmly in their place.
I was at the Goodman memorial when David’s news arrived, so I shared David’s comment about the respectful debates Ken and Jay had.

Yes, we shall all miss him, for sure. He was someone who could hold what was a relatively unpopular view, but keep smiling all the while, and, wow, was he a good listener. I find that when we lose someone like Jay or Ken or others, I take what I loved and appreciated in their gifts to others, and try to emulate those traits.
We will keep thinking of him and his ideas.
Best to all,
Shirley

I, too, am sad to hear of Jay’s passing. I met Jay at a meeting early in my career and we became good ‘meeting friends.’ We always arranged to spend some time together. He was important to the field; his attention to automaticity before it became well known influenced my thinking. He was a generous colleague and encouraged me in my not-in-the main stream thinking about decoding. I was so fond of him.

I am very much saddened to hear of Jay Samuels' death. Jay and I were good colleagues. Over the years we regularly found ourselves at the same meetings, speaking in the same sessions. In the 1960s we paired up to debate Ken Goodman and Frank Smith. In the late 1990s we were both on the National Reading Panel . We became fast friends. Jay was a great scholar and an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm was inspiring. I will miss him.

Jay Samuels passed this AM of COVID.
I am saddened by this development, especially with COVID as the proximal cause. As many of you know, Jay, along with RHF members Bob Dykstra and John Manning, was an influential mentor for me when I was at Minnesota as a grad student and a new professor. I have such vivid memories of so many things Jay did and said.
Haunting (in both an eerie and a very sweet sense) that Jay died on the very day when many are memorializing the contributions of Ken Goodman. Although Jay and Ken help what many of us thought were diametrically opposing views of early reading development and pedagogy, the two shared an alma mater (both got their doctorates at UCLA) and an abiding respect for the contributions of the other to the study of reading processes and pedagogies.
