Thank you JJ for not allowing blood to define a relationship. You were the greatest grandpa and will be truly missed. Look forward to seeing you again one day. Love and miss you
The heart of adventure and storytelling. When I think of JJ I think of the many stories he has shared over the years. JJ did not live a boring life. He lived more adventures than many of us could hope to! JJ you were always such a kind man since the day I met you 44 years ago. You will be missed. God bless!
I will never forget the Christmas that JJ came to get Alan and I when we lived in Ridge Farm Illinois because our cars were frozen over and we were going to miss Christmas at mom’s. JJ wanted to make my mom happy, so he came all that way to get us and he brought us home after Christmas. He loved mom very much and hated to see her sad.
You are one of the best MAN I’ve ever known. Your not gone but just over watching us. God speed my friend.
