Tough one to swallow Skins. I had the opportunity to catch up with JJ at Daytona this year. As you know, very few people had the gift to make people laugh and smile like JJ. He always looked to help everyone/ strangers and friends. He retold some old N…

I can’t handle this year anymore. JJ was a great guy, always loved hearing the old NHL stories on the rare occasions I’ve gotten to see him over the last few years.

I am just devastated. He was the like the leader of our “intern clique”. Brought a smile to us all at any given time. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Thoughts and prayers to his girls and family. Just heartbreaking.

I am stunned and devastated by this incredibly shocking news. I just can’t believe it.
I have such fond memories of JJ from the first time he came to the NHL from St John’s. This bear of a man who was always smiling, friendly, and just fun to be around. I wanted him in our licensing area immediately. I just knew he would flourish in our world. I grew to cherish the open friendship we developed, and no matter how long of a gap in our talking, we always picked up like we had just spoken.
He was gentle soul who so loved his daughters and family. I will miss him and his spirit so much.
I wish you God Speed my friend. God bless you and your girls.

JJ was the baby of our crew ~ as a NHL intern, we attempted to bust his chops with the typical initiation shenanigans but he was so gregarious, kind & witty that it backfired & we fell head over heels for him ~ he was instantly loved as one of the gang. It has been a pleasure & privilege watching him become a successful man on so many levels. Sending peace & love to his family especially his beautiful daughters.
