Terrible terrible news.. but he will never be forgotten.

Deepest Sympathy....May your God be with you.

threemonkeys · 22 June 2011, 11:04 AM

Very sad news indeed.

Mrdi · 22 June 2011, 11:26 AM

Thanks J.J. for the energy, wisdom, kindness and empathy you exuded to all.
Truly the epitome of the spirit of this forum.
My prayers are with you.

LWRN · 22 June 2011, 11:42 AM

JJ, May you rest in perfect peace, your passing has truly touched me.

volsfan0911 · 22 June 2011, 11:48 AM

JJ - Rest In Peace. You definitely made many people's lives richer and the world a better place. Thoughts and prayers to your family and thank you for showing us how to live with dignity and class even under the most dire of circumstances.

springer · 22 June 2011, 11:51 AM

May the good Lord find a special place for JJ. He was a wonderful man and a true gentleman to all.

SkyKing31 · 22 June 2011, 11:55 AM

Rest In Peace

Kiddodoc · 22 June 2011, 12:01 PM

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.

ingoodtime · 22 June 2011, 12:08 PM

I just found out myself as i got home a bit late yesterday. I am greatly saddened by this terrible news. My heart goes out to his family and the rest of wisdom. We lost a friend.

Rags · 22 June 2011, 12:18 PM

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.

M.A.B. · 22 June 2011, 12:55 PM

Rest in peace J.J. May God bless and watch over the Irani family. You will never be forgotten mate.

fc3s2k · 22 June 2011, 01:05 PM

Thanks for all your help and advise, you will be missed. RIP JJ

hdrazor251 · 22 June 2011, 01:45 PM

RIP. Condolences to your family.

RIP JJ, your insight on Rolex was unparalleled. I know your herding those sheep high in the sky.

Fozzy · 22 June 2011, 06:11 PM

The world is a sadder place when people like you depart it.

RIP JJ.

Oyster1982 · 22 June 2011, 10:54 PM

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

badmanmc · 23 June 2011, 07:52 AM

just putting this out there.

i think it would be great if trf banded together and gave his wife a yachtmaster to remember him by? i think he sold his didnt he?

just a thought.

GradyPhilpott · 23 June 2011, 08:04 AM

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.

scottkit · 23 June 2011, 09:33 AM

Sad news. Thanks JJ, rest in peace.

vukotab · 23 June 2011, 10:23 AM

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.

erling · 23 June 2011, 10:45 AM

May JJ rest in peace. Condolences to his family. JJ Irani will always be remembered.

Newkid · 23 June 2011, 10:47 AM

J.J. - you will always remain a friend and a mentor to all of us on TRF. Our condolences to the Irani family.

Kapture1 · 23 June 2011, 10:48 AM

You will be missed.

Rolexsd4000 · 8 July 2011, 10:21 AM

RIP JJ I will miss you........

www777 · 8 July 2011, 10:33 AM

You have been an inspiration and will be missed.

GradyPhilpott · 8 July 2011, 11:41 AM

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.
