JJ was a member here and a lovely gentleman. He was a kind soul who sadly passed away leaving his mark on this great forum.

I wasn't a member either while he was here. From everything I can see, he's pretty much a legend. Goes without saying, rip jj

Look up JJ Irani and you will see all of his posts and threads. That's probably the best way to understand why many members on this forum hold this man in such high esteem. He is missed but never forgotten.

The funniest (and nicest) man you'll ever meet. TRF is what it is because of guys like him and others.

I've read many, but too few of his 74,000+ posts. What a sense of humor! I can see why he was loved and is missed. R.I.P. JJ

JJ was a great man who always welcomed the new members & who fought to the very end with dignity.
