The one morning that I don't open Rolexforums due a meeting is the day I read this news late.
JJ, you made this site such a pleasure for many of us. Your greatest testament is the love that many feel for you although many never knew you personally. You will be sorely missed but never forgotten. You will forever be a legend on this forum. Rest in peace with a Rolex on your wrist. Your TRF family are thankful for the presence and memories you left us.

When I logged on this morning & read the news of JJ's passing I started to get all choked up & I never met JJ. He was such an inspiration the way he fought his illness the last few months. It is something that I will never ever forget. JJ to me will always be part of TRF.
You fought a great fight till the end. Now it is time to rest in peace. May God bless you & watch over your family.

Its really sad to see someone die from the complications of pancreatic cancer, its a cancer with no cure, and you watch a loved one wither away right in front of your eyes. My partners dad just passed away from pancreatic cancer, and fought it for a couple of months. I never knew JJ however from all the posts he seemed like a great person, and its a sad day when a good person is taken too soon. RIP JJ

I'm telling everyone I know today about JJ Irani.

He was definitely a man who's spirit and joi de vivre should continue to be shared worldwide.

I think the whole world needs a healthy dose of JJ's spirit, humor, and courage and I'm doing my best to spread some of it everywhere I go.

On my 10 mile bike ride today, I smiled and waved at everyone whom I encountered.

You know what? It's infectious.

JJ would like that, I think.

I was absent from TRF yesterday and now this...
I saw this sad news some fifteen minutes ago and I`m still completely shocked. I don`t believe that he`s really gone, I`m sad beyond measurement.

JJ, you were the greatest guy of all, I will miss you very, very much.
You were true friend, may God bless your soul.
Rest In Peace, my friend.

Even now, I can hardly believe that JJ's gone.

I tend to believe that JJ will live on as long as there is a WISdom.
