Jay J. Armes, Private Investigator, PM MAGAZINE

a true el pasoan. i love jay j. armes

ii live in El paso too and close to his house..its nice..is he still alive??

Very much so. In fact, I called him about 6 weeks ago and he is planning a trip to Japan. He is still very active and when not traveling, attends to details in his office.

He's the mexican James Bond!...With hooks for hands! I lived a few blocks down the road from him. The logo on his gate is sweet. Its two pistols turned onto their side to look like it says "JJ". He is my hero.

I remember seeing this on PM Magazine in my area of the country growing up. Glad to see it again. It was a masterpiece. You're RIGHT...we have a tendency to complain. I have his book on my shelf and did see the pilot for the series. A man that I would call, in a time of major trouble. Good memories!!!

HIs name is armes...

He is my friends grandpa!

Wow, I can't believe I've never seen this until now! What amazing memories.

I never met Jay, but my grandfather (who, sadly, I also never had the privilege to meet) was the one who originally attached his prosthetic arms, taught him how to use them, & acted as a surrogate father-figure through Jay's life until his (my grandfather's) death.

Jay's life is truly a wonderful story of overcoming all obstacles to have an amazing life.

i'm sure one day they'll make a movie on this legend

There is actually an autographed copy of his book on ebay right now.
