A family lost a father, brother, uncle, cousin and grandfather today. A company lost its leader, and communities lost a Champion. I lost my boss, mentor and friend. Tough day for a lot of people. Rest in peace, Jay.
Phil Long Dealerships sadly announces the recent passing of Gerald “Jay” Cimino, Chairman of Phil Long Dealerships Board of Trustees and recently retired President and CEO of Phil Long Dealerships. A prominent figure in Colorado, Jay was a trailblazer in the automotive industry and the driving force in transforming Phil Long into the largest privately held automotive group in Colorado. In addition to his business prowess and entrepreneurial drive, Jay was renowned for his philanthropic endeavors and community service. Among his most notable achievements were the establishment of the Mt. Carmel Veterans Service Center and Mt. Carmel Wellness and Community Center. Jay’s impact and legacy are profound. He was a tremendous leader and a true champion. We can never replace Jay’s brilliance and contributions to this organization and our community, but we will honor him by continuing his passion to be our best.

5moI am so sorry to hear of Jay’s passing. Jay was a father figure to so many and a staunch believer in his philanthropic endeavors, especially Mt. Carmel. I have great memories of working with Jay in the early days of both Mt. Carmel entities. My prayers and thoughts go out to Gina, Mike, Vince and the entire Cimino and PLD family. May God’s peace and strength be with you.
