TO JJ's FAMILY
Dear JJ's family:
This year, we lost one of the greatest persons that we have ever met; some had the opportunity to visit and talk to him, others only knew him by his posts and everlasting humor, and you had the fantastic blessing to have him as part of your family; as a husband, father and grandfather. As Christmas comes closer and we all get together with friends and families; you will have a special place in our hearts; not only during this season, but always. JJ: We miss you. Please receive a warm hug from Mexico. |

Another hug from Colorado.
JJ's advice is one of the reasons I joined this forum.

I never knew him or spoke with him as he passed before I joined this forum : but I'll tell you this....he was the richest man in the world because the love and out-pooring I have read on this site is unmatched in this world.
He obviouslly was an incredible man |

Yeah, Same from me. I joined the forum right after the sad day. I was reading the posts here and while I did not understand the feeling I was moved by the forum in a great way. This is a special forum and I *feel* like I knew JJ, I went back and looked at a lot of his posts to try and get some of that what everyone else had.
To JJ and his family, Happy Holidays. |

An incredible man indeed.
I never had the chance to meet him personally but we Skyped many of times (almost like being there). He had a great sense of humor and I really miss him a lot. |

What a wonderful thread, Gerardo!
I echo your sentiments and want to extend my wishes to the Irani family as well. I was fortunate to have had several Skype sessions with JJ and really enjoyed getting to know him better. Still difficult to believe he is not here. He is most definitely missed..... |

Best wishes to the Irani family.
JJ was the first one to send me a PM and friendship request when I joined the forum.

I miss The JJ.
We used to send each other photos and I talked to him once on the phone. I will always remember our conversation. Sorry to say this place isn't the same without him. I used to love to make him laugh. |

I never had the pleasure of speaking to JJ personally but the man must have been a wonderful guy to know.
Much love and best wishes to his family at this time of year. |
