I'm at a loss for words. JJ will be dearly missed in the SMF family. He was in inspiration and friend to many of us here. If there is anything your family needs please don't be bashful in asking. The holidays are a tough enough time for many families, but to deal with an unexpected loss of a loved one. I just couldn't imagine...
