The saddest of news. We have lost something special. The likes of which will never walk this way again.

I am so sorry to hear this terrible news. JJ was a class act and my prayers are with his family to help them through this extremely difficult time. He put up one heck of a fight and I am glad he got to spend as much time home with his loved ones as he did. May he rest in peace.

Few men touched as many lives as JJ. RIP to a great man. Maybe some day we will meet again further down the river.

JJ was definitely one in a million....and he will be sorely missed.

A terribly sad time indeed. Still can't believe it.

Prayers and thoughts go out to Zemina and the rest of the family. I am so so sorry for your loss.

On no. What heartwrenching and sad news indeed. We were all obviously praying, pulling and hoping that it wouldn't come to this. And given the collective spirit and strength of this magnificent forum, I really thought he would pull through, if not stabilize indefinitely longer.

Man, just really sad. Don't know what to say but thank you J.J. for everything and for making this forum the special place that it was. The forum is certainly a little less special now because of your untimely passing. Hopefully you passed peacefully and surrounded by the profound, deep love and never ending support of your close knit family.

You'll always be remembered fondly by all of us and your legacy is one to be admired and respected for eternity. A total class act and great friend to all. You touched everyone in your unique way and will always be remembered. RIP JJ, thank you and prayers and best wishes to your entire family.

BEST REGARDS

He was a great resource. I'll never forget the private tutorial he gave me in proper disposal of a Rado. It made tears flow from me eyes.

RIP my friend, I'm very sorry to hear about this. I know we all will get there but it was way to early for you JJ.

It's really hard to believe this is true.

I will never stop to think of you, you have give me a lot of laugs and I hope I have give you a few too.

All my prayers for JJ's family.

Jocke
