R.I.P. JJ

Prayers are with your family

vintage69 · 22 June 2011, 11:32 AM

JJ was a person who enjoyed the companionship of his fellow Rolex owners. Although I did not personally know him, I enjoy his posts. May he enjoy his voyage into the next world. He is probably enjoying his Rolex collection with a great brew.

mfer · 22 June 2011, 11:32 AM

For JJ, there was nothing but the bright side. More people in this world need to be like that man. He loved his family more than anything and his friends here too. Rolex watches brought him here, but he gave many people much much more than watch passion.

If I need friends, I need look no further than TRF!!

Couldn't have said it any better. Rest in piece JJ.

Watchvirgin · 22 June 2011, 11:33 AM

What a great way to highlight JJ and his life here on TRF!
I purchased both my time pieces and part was due to JJ and his threads! Seemed like a great man and will be missed here on TRF.

Nice job TRF, great way to pay tribute!!!! Class act. JJ you will be missed

Rikki · 22 June 2011, 11:34 AM

JJ was the first person on here to pm me and ask some tough technical questions and since then we talked many times great guy who will be sorely missed by all. Rikki

chirojared · 22 June 2011, 11:34 AM

TRF will not be the same without JJ. He will be missed terribly. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

BarkMaster · 22 June 2011, 11:34 AM

I always looked forward to reading his posts. Sometimes advice, sometimes opinion, and always funny.

He left his mark on a bunch of fellow watch lovers.

bluemartinifan · 22 June 2011, 11:35 AM

Read these posts and you see what a rich, significant and meaningful life JJ had. It's not really about how much money or posessions we have - or how powerful our job is - its really about how much you are respected, admired and loved by friends and family.
JJ is a rich man...

tech_controller · 22 June 2011, 11:36 AM

I wish JJ well as he travels on to the next life...I will miss his postings and that wonderful smile. Mister "Bluesy" was a blessing to the forum. My best wishes to his family.

HL65 · 22 June 2011, 11:36 AM

JJ you will be so missed! You are always going to be here with us on TRF and your contribution here has been felt by us all! Many blessings to your family and I know you are smiling above as you look down upon us! Thanks for being you and helping to make TRF a better place. I think we are all better for knowing you. RIP my friend...

bgriz · 22 June 2011, 11:36 AM

He will be greatly missed here at TRF.

chicfarmer1 · 22 June 2011, 11:36 AM

Even as a newbie I could tell what a joyful and respected presence JJ shared here with his watch friends. It was easy to see his humor and charm, and most remarkably his bravery in the face of dire circumstances. Love and respect--he gave it, he earned it, he received it, and he always will.

ROLEX MAN · 22 June 2011, 11:37 AM

One thing that is imbedded in my memory forever is his avatar, it never changed!

JJ may you rest in "Perpetual Heaven"

paultran37 · 22 June 2011, 11:37 AM

R.i.p jj. God bless.

Z-Sub · 22 June 2011, 11:37 AM

It's a great loss for the TRF and the rest of the watch community without JJ. I had the great pleasure of PM with JJ a few times and he was always a pleasant man to communicate with. He was funny and lovable. There is no one other than JJ who has been "featured" in as many threads and in as many cartoons as JJ and he takes all with pride and comes back with great sense of humor. I will miss him greatly.

steve-o · 22 June 2011, 11:37 AM

I will miss JJ.

I Skyped with him a few times and discovered my little sailing town and his were a lot alike.

A friend to all.

davegct · 22 June 2011, 11:38 AM

This is a very sad day. JJ was always willing to engage many of us newbies when we were first getting into Rolexes. he helped make TRF the great forum that it is. I never knew him but I feel like I did. He will be sadly missed and my condolences to his family.

RIP JJ

Michael M. · 22 June 2011, 11:39 AM

What an awesome guy, a true legend, and role model! We'll miss you greatly JJ!

JJ, IMHO is why TRF is what it is today!

Dan2010 · 22 June 2011, 11:40 AM

Wow, what can you say about JJ? He was the man of the hour, the man with the power, too sweet to be sour!

I will always remember him getting on me for high jacking a thread or two.....

Hard to believe he is gone. This along with a few other things that have gone on in my life this year has made me realize you should enjoy everyday of your life and make the best of it because you never know when it's time to be called home.

I'll see you in the big GTG in the sky someday!

Tijssan · 22 June 2011, 11:40 AM

Condolences for JJ's family, friends and loved ones...

cars4life · 22 June 2011, 11:40 AM

RIP Mr. Irani. you will be missed.

1watchaholic · 22 June 2011, 11:41 AM

He made me feel at home here as a newbie and provided great input and encouragement. A true legend!! R.I.P. my friend!!

theloxmyth · 22 June 2011, 11:41 AM

He was filled with passion and compassion and had a wonderful sense of humor.

I never though it would be like this, because I would only think positive thoughts.
(I thought he would beat it.)

Peace to you, his family.

hng · 22 June 2011, 11:42 AM

A true Rolex fan and a gentlemen, funny, caring, wise, adorable. Miss you JJ and RIP.

cdnwatchguy · 22 June 2011, 11:43 AM

When I first stumbled across this forum he was one of the people I noticed right away and found him very entertaining. He will be missed.

J72 · 22 June 2011, 11:45 AM

He welcomed everyone with open arms. I'm pretty sure he will be welcomed in Heaven with open arms too. a real nice tosser! RIP JJ.

Pep04 · 22 June 2011, 11:46 AM

Haven't posted here in a while. I visit from time to time though and I was shocked to see this banner.

When I joined, I was very misunderstood with my opening threads. I even got in trouble. JJ was one of the few that didn't misunderstand my intentions and was very patient and warned that my questions were tired and could be construed as trolling.

He was always willing to give advice and, as stated above, ALWAYS willing to be the butt of the joke so others can have a laugh. The world needs more people like JJ. People that don't take things to heart. Always willing to laugh. Very patient with the new members and usually one of the first to give the welcome on behalf of the forum. I am sure most of you know he was one of the first to welcome you.

Today we lost a great person on this forum and more importantly, his family lost the man that always was so proud of them and shared many moments of their lives with us here.

You will be missed but NEVER forgotten. Whatever you believe that happens after death is your own business, I just hope JJ gets what he believed would be the best for wonderful people like him.

tudorman8276 · 22 June 2011, 11:46 AM

...not have tears in their eyes, as I do, as JJ will truly be missed.

...may God be with his family in this great time of need.

...I will meet you one day JJ.
