Jay Barrett ‘really did live one of the best weeks of his life last week,’ his sister said. ‘That phone call meant everything to him’
WEST HAVEN, Conn. — An ailing Connecticut man who had a bucket-list wish fulfilled when he received a call of encouragement from President Donald Trump died Wednesday, his sister said. Jay Barrett was 44.
Hoskie, a Democrat, had gone on social media to build a campaign for Trump to offer her brother a gesture of support. Last week, the president called Barrett , telling him, “You’re my kind of man, Jay.” “He really did live one of the best weeks of his life last week,” she said. “That phone call meant everything to him.” Barrett, who for most of his life considered himself an independent, voted for President Barack Obama in 2008, but didn’t like many of his polices, including the Affordable Care Act.
