Will sure miss you, JJ, but I'm grateful for all of the laughter and joy you have brought us.

I am saddened by his passing. His smile and laugh were infectious. His friendship was cherished. His friendliness to fellow forum(s) members was wonderful. His humor was legendary. His love of his family was inclusive. His final days were an inspiration in dignity. His legacy here will be remembered by all who interacted with him. RIP Jehangir Jal Irani. I will be raising a glass in your memory this evening

He made a HUGE difference here, and touched so many of us. His insight, laughter and will to live was special.

In the end, he taught us with actions what is really important in this world. Thank you JJ. Thank you very much.

To your family: you should be proud of having the unique opportunity to have him as husband, father, grandfather and friend.
