Sometimes there is no warning signs with a heart attack or stroke. My ex-father in law went that way. He got up to go outside to do something and dropped over dead with the big one. It is a shock to the family but the poor bugger didn't lay around and suffer. The only better way would be in your sleep. But most of us aren't that lucky.
I feel bad JJ399 was a true gentleman on the radio and on the site. I have had the pleasure to make contact with him on the radio and once sold him a Cobra 148GTL DX. he will be missed.
Yep. My son passed in his sleep from a seizure in 2020 at the age of 27. That's him in my avatar. He never knew what happened, just woke up in Heaven.
It's not easy to have a love-one pass away but I watched my mom struggle with her body slowly shutting down and pass away 5 days after turning 94 and that wasn't pleasant to watch by no means and I actually prayed to God to take her because she didn't deserve that humiliation.
My mother in-law recently passed at the age of 94 as she had developed congestive heart failure. She went to the hospital for a week and came home on Hospice with an oxygen tank. Two weeks later she was having great difficulty and we called the Hospice nurse to come out, she confirmed that it wouldn't be long. My wife made calls to her remaining eight siblings and we had a house full. At twilight, my mother in-law had her "last hurrah" and sat up in bed completely lucid and for 45 minutes it sounded like we were having a party. It was a truly amazing event, the kind you only hear about. I am holding back the tears as I write this. The next evening, at twilight, she expired.
It is natural to try and find some logic about the events when someone passes. The only solace is to know that God has a plan for each and every one of us. Even if we don't know what that plan is.

So very sorry to hear this news. It's been a while, but was always a delight to QSO with him on the forum, and over the air. Especially, when it was homebrew antennas both ways.
JJ was definitely an awesome radio friend and I'm sure an even better one in person, even though we never met. We spoke sometime back in September and that's the last contact we made recently. Link attached below of a nice contact with him about 12-13 years ago. He will be missed big time on the air!

R.I.P. my friend. And thank you so much for the assistance!
This is great. You've helped preserve the JJ we all enjoyed. A great memorial.
