In reading older post

It seems a few people were real standouts and for whatever reason they are gone is a real shame.

JJ Irani.....seemed to be one of those people....

Lisa.....a poster from Oklahoma I'm guessing was another that others held in high regards.

There were a few more that I forgot their names, but its too bad they are no longer posting.

JJ has passed away, I believe. Not sure about Lisa.

Kilyung? He's posted about 20 times this month, and he's a pledge member.

There are so many great members that I remember from the past, many of whom I had the pleasure to meet personally at GTGs. And a few like JJ, who I Skyped w/ many times.

I did not see where he passed, but he seemed like a very nice guy and was a great asset to the forum.

I miss Dave. Thanks for bringing him up here. He deserves to be remembered.

I wonder if we could get Steve to give him and a few others that have passed an honorary badge under their name.

I always enjoyed Dave’s posts.

There are others who are no longer here that used to keep the discussion lively. Not entirely sure what happened.

BR gotta be at the top as one of the most ostentatious posters.

Let’s not forget Chewey.

JJ and Dave are fondly remembered.

There are plenty of good people still here, but I do miss the fun vibe that two wild and crazy guys, who shall not be named, used to bring.

Sadly, JJ passed not long after I joined the forum. He was the first one to send me a welcome message when I joined. I think it was around mid 2011.
