Who is Jocke?
Seriously, I don't want to sound dumb but I've only been around a few short months and I see all of these RIP Jocke tag lines but then I see posts from Jocke and questions to Jocke. Are there two people named Jocke? Who is Jocke?
Enlighten me? Who is Jocke? |

This has been moved from Rolex general discussion.
Jocke is a member of TRF. You don't see RIP Jocke tag lines....I think you meant "RIP JJ". JJ is a highly respected member of TRF who's life was tragically taken by cancer. He touched many here and is always remembered.

Hi Linda,
I believe you may be referring to RIP JJ ( JJ Irani ) who is a very valued member on the forum who passed away. Jocke is a active fellow member who posts amazing photographs of Rolex timepieces. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in. EDIT: As they did above.

Linda - check out this thread:
https://www.rolexforums.com/showthread.php?t=182466 I've only been here a month and have found several of his threads and posts. I wish I was here when he was around as he seems like he was a highly respected member. |

Sorry. I got them confused. I thought JJ was Jocke. Hope I didn't offend anyone. Hi Jocke. Glad you are with us. Sorry.

Who's Jocke? Now Paul, The VTCGuy, that'd be a great question...

BTW, you're in deep babe. (not a sexist "babe", a newbie "babe") Jocke will be along soon it's just 6:30am over there in Jocke-land - and Paul will surely follow 4-5 hours later...

Apparently the reports of Jocke's demise have been greatly exaggerated.

This must be a dangerous place for Jocke, because that's at least the second time he has passed on here. I remember Paul posting a while back that he had a dream in which he met Jocke in Heaven.
Or another way of looking at it is that being on TRF is literally a spiritual journey for Jocke! PS: Glad you're still with us Jocke. |

To the OP, Jocke has a manCrush on Paul. Nothing serious, just all-consuming.

I had a conversation with a dead man this morning.
You know what, he sounded a little stiff. |

This is breaking news - already near the top of Google Search results...
Just behind John Locke - and ahead of an athletic supporter .

Did I get legend status now? You can't be a legend before you die.
You will not get away so easily, I'm still here and kicking. I would also like to thank everyone for the condolences are and the kind words.
