He was 79.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_ObitText\" class=\"ObitTextHtml\">A New Orleans native, Buckman was a graduate of&nbsp; Isidore Newman School before embarking on a collegiate career at Tulane University. He received a bachelor in business administration (BBA) degree in 1962 and fast-tracked his way to a juris doctor degree from the Tulane School of Law in 1964.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>It was at Tulane that he met<span id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_ObitText\" class=\"ObitTextHtml\">&nbsp;Jane Gurry, a fellow New Orleanian. The two were wed for 56 years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He was the managing partner of the Kolton, Buckman and Ortiz Consultants firm in Metairie and owner of Jay L. Buckman (APAC).<\/p>\n<p>Buckman was a tireless worker and a Personal Financial Specialist (PFS), who dedicated himself to clients. His knowledge of the law and his personal insights into managing wealth created opportunities and bonds he treasured over the course of many decades. He frequently recommended the use of purchasing insurance policies to help clients protect assets over a long term.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_ObitText\" class=\"ObitTextHtml\">After the devastation from Hurricane Katrina, the Buckmans moved to Houston where their son&#8217;s family was living.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_ObitText\" class=\"ObitTextHtml\">Buckman had many hobbies through the years. He enjoyed horseback riding, canoeing and occasionally would ski in Colorado at resorts like Beaver Creek, Copper Mountain in Vale or Aspen.&nbsp; However, his favorite competition was dog agility. He and his AKC champion dog Nike competed throughout the United States to great success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span id=\"ctl00_ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_ContentPlaceHolder1_ObitText\" class=\"ObitTextHtml\">In addition to his wife Jane, Buckman is survived by&nbsp; his son Jay, Jr., daughter Kim Davis (Steven), his brother Danny Buckman (Audrey) and four grandchildren.&nbsp; A private memorial service by the family was held in New Orleans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Memorial donations can be made to the charity of your choice.<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_toolbar\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/share-medium.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top: 5px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_t=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Google Plus\",\"Pinterest\",\"Linkedin\",\"Tumblr\",\"Email\");var hupso_background_t=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border_t=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_toolbar_size_t=\"medium\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url_t=\"\";var hupso_title_t=\"Financial%20specialist%20Jay%20Buckman%20dies%20in%20Houston\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share_toolbar.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,1],"tags":[10239,10238,8790,8795,8788],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51061"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51061"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51061\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51330,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51061\/revisions\/51330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.crescentcityjewishnews.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
