He truly thought of you as a good friend it wasn't just show. He spoke it in private also not just on the forum. We'll all miss him and his positive way of reaching everyone. I know I will.
[QUOTE=MadameNikki;7065480]It is with extremely heavy heart that I have to give the news that our good pal has JJ passed away some weeks ago. I hadn't heard from him in awhile and we were quite close so I reached out. My messages and emails went unanswered which was very unlike him and I was concerned but due to discretion I did not message further. Upon doing some investigating last night I looked up the obituaries in the town he resided in just to see but did not expect to see his picture in there but he did in fact pass away suddenly around the end of September. I am deeply saddened by this as he was a very kind-hearted, happy and all around amazing guy and friend and will miss him dearly.[/QUOTE]

JJ. You'll be missed
How the f*ck do you pay gratitude to the man who introduced me to Nikki? I mean, you can't beat that!
May you forever rest in peace my friend.

He was a true good dude. We kept bumping into each other. Funny stuff.

Sir 'JJ'
[QUOTE=MadameNikki;7065480]It is with extremely heavy heart that I have to give the news that our good pal has JJ passed away some weeks ago......[/QUOTE]I'll chime in here too, because his influence was far and wide.
I am from central Indiana and some time ago had posted a question about your local area, to which he quickly replied. I am personal friends with, and help a lot of ladies in so many ways, in a lot of cities here in Indiana, plus a few in Illinois, even Kentucky. JJ and I shared a lot of tips and best practices, and I still have not completed all of the 'assignments' he left for me- with Yagirlsi and MadameNikki at the top of the list!
Thank you for everything, JJ, sir!

I indulge in the hobby mostly in GR and Kalamazoo and a few other places near those two spots, but have occasionally made it to Battle Creek and have tried to get there more often largely based on JJ's recommendations. But it wasn't just his stellar posts--honest, fair, containing a lot of info without being overly wordy, to the point without seeming overly brief or curt--it was also his willingness to engage in info and advice sharing via PMs. There have been a few guys in GR who no longer post for different reasons who were also very helpful in different ways and when mongers have reached out to me, I've tried to "pay it forward" so to speak and be as helpful as I can be. But Jimmy set the bar. What a class act. He will truly be missed. Thank you JJ. RIP--RJ.

What I will miss most is his constant updates on spring spa. He had manasans ear and you could always trust his info and it was prompt. Just one of the best on this board. Going to miss him. RIP JJ.

Local talent
Without our friend JJ we're going to all need to pitch in a little more to keep everyone updated on the talent around. He did so much on here to help us all get the most out of our experiences. I know Nikki and Sienna both have time to fit people in, so reach out if you're looking. If you don't have contact info ask or pm them. I've not seen Sienna before but have heard very good things and will see her in the future for sure. Nikki I have seen and I couldn't recommend anyone more! JJ would be the first one to tell us to help a fellow hobbyist out on here. It's been weird not getting any PM's from him lately. He did so much behind the scenes for so many. Remember he may have messaged you and it seems like that's nice, but he did that for so many here. All with the goal of helping a hobby friend out. And for nothing in return but the joy of helping.
They both rely on this income the same as we do for our jobs. Without JJ helping people reach them and giving the info they want I'm sure it's not helping. We don't want to lose good local talent due to neglecting to support them.
Just my 2 cents.

Jj
So I tried to set up a meeting with sienna again and honor of JJ. In our conversations is always talked highly of her So I set up at 10 o'clock yesterday for today. I tried a couple times in the past and had no success meeting up with her. I texted this morning to confirm. She responded by asking me to pick up food and come later. 🤷127995;8205;9794;65039;.
I don't know about you guys, but I do work and I have a schedule to keep. I told her I wouldn't be coming and decided to just go to Happy because it's way easier. Had a very nice time with Penny.
