Jj
I have been away from this forum for some time. On my return I have looked for a member "JJ" I think, who help spark my interest in my first Rolex some 6 years ago. The other day I was reading a post and some member had a note that said "RIP JJ" he had the whole member name but I was traveling and have lost the post. The guy I remember "JJ" was a bald man with glasses with I believe several thousand posts. I would just be interested in knowing if he has passed. He was a great person to talk to about Rolex. He had the passion.
If this is a personal issue with someone who can advise please feel free to private message me. Thanks. Sorry for the downer question. |

Yes, JJ is unfortunately gone but he lives in many of our hearts.
He was the first to welcome me here and helped me immediately by pm on a request. |

So sad to read this. It was his enthusiasm that helped me pull the trigger on my first Rolex. Really nice guy. When I got back to the forum I kept looking for him.

J.J. was the most humble man I've ever encountered online.
And I cannot imagine thinking of a two-tone Sub without remembering his love of "Bluesey". |

John, thanks for sharing the link. Nice to see how he affected some many others. I too am in Scottsdale up near Desert Mountain. Maybe we'll run into each other one day and hoist up a drink to JJ. Again, thanks for sharing.
