Quoted from chattnsquire

May God be with you in your time of need

Quoted from oleno7collector

Judith,
Our greatest sympathies are with you. I know that nothing we can say will take the loss away. Just know that JeePee is now with friends and fellow collectors and Master Distillers of the past. He is probably sitting back having a drink with all of them and getting all the questions we have always pondered answered.

Amongst Squires and Collectors JeePee will be deeply missed.


The Martensen's  

Quoted from Max

no words can explain the sadness we are feeling right now    Our thoughts and prayers are with you

Judith we are here for you 24/7 just as you have been for JeePee

Quoted from shamu31

Judith,

I am so sorry for your loss. JeePee will be dearly missed. If there is anything that we can do to help please do not hesitate to ask.

God Bless,
Donna

Quoted from jackdam

May God bless & keep you both!

Quoted from getjackedinflint

So sorry for your loss i did not know jeepee but hear he was a great man and he will be missed by us all

Quoted from xristphr1968

The following are lyrics to one of my most favorite songs... it really helped me through times such as this.... I hope you find comfort in the words.........................

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show

But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

Michael W. Smith




Mr. Baker and JeePee are sharing a nice long rock in rocking chairs,,,,,,,Talking about Lynchburg!!


There are people in our lives that touch us so deeply
Sometimes those people we have never met,
However feel as if we have known them all our lives,
JeePee was one of these people for Chris and myself.

We did see him at the last BBQ he was at,
However did not know him at that point,
And we really wish that we had.

It sometimes is hard to let go of those that mean so much to you.
But we all know that he is in a better place, and we will see him again.
The members of this forum, are by far the best people on the planet,
and all of us feel the pain of this,  but we have so many GOOD memories of such
a wonderful, caring, fantastic individual.  

His goofy responses, His inspired "thumbs up" pics, and his love of not only Jack, but all those involved with Jack ....
will not be forgotten....

Judith-  May God be with you through this difficult time.  At times you will feel alone, but just remember YOU are a member of this family also.  And you can always depend on us.  We are all here for you, and we will all cry with you, and we will all remember and laugh with you.  
You have been an extremely strong woman through the last few years, and you will continue to be that strong woman.  Just know that we are all here, we all love you so very much... and we have been so deeply touched by the both of you....

JeePee will hold a special place in our hearts... and though we never actually met him face to face... we are proud to have known him.

All our love to you Judith-
Stay Strong-

Chris and Angee Scissom

Quoted from texasteddybear

Judith,

Words cannot express our sadness at hearing this news.  

There is no doubt that he was welcomed into heaven by Jack Daniel himself.

Our prayers are with you.

Gary & Michelle

Quoted from Muppetloaf

Judith,

can only echo everyones thoughts at this time.

Jeepee was an inspiration, and it was my pleasure to meet him last year at the Dolphin.
I will hopefully be at the Dolphin later today, and will surely raise a toast in Jeepee's memory.

Stay strong and dont hesitate to call on the JD family as and when you need.

Take Care.

Quoted from JD No7

Judith,
there are no words to express my feelings of sorry for you, as just a friend I feel an immense loss.....  
I can not begin to understand how you must feel.
~ Lee

Quoted from merchandiseconcepts

Judith,
Words cannot describe what any of us are feeling right now. Jeepee is dear to many many people across the world! He will be dearly missed. Our arms go out to you Judith with a warm hug. Dad and mom both send their love.
If you need anything - just let us know.

I will never forget the great times we had when you and Jeepee visited.

Quoted from KLDesigns

Judith,

I am sorry to hear about your loss. He was great part to this JD collectors community and he will not be forgotten.
If there is anything we can do for you, we are hear for you.


R.I.P. JeePee.

Quoted from jd07fan29

We are so sadden to read this.  Our hearts go out to you and your family.  May he fly among the angels as he watches us all.

Quoted from Crash

Judith, I never met JeePee in person, he nominated me into the Forum
and I was thankful to him for that. Iwas hoping to meet him at the BBQ
this year, but now see, that won't happen. He was a fountain of knowledge
when it came to JD, and has helped me quite a few times. He will be
missed by his forum family. All I can do is to express my most
sincere condolences to you and your family.
Judith if there is anything we can do, we are hear for you.

Rick & Darlene

Quoted from keitht

Judith,

I wish to offer my sincerest sympathy to you, your family, & the entire family of Jack Daniels collectors worldwide.  With the loss of Jee Pee, we have truly lost a passionate collector and friend, and he will be greatly missed by all.  I was never privileged enough to be able to meet Jee Pee in person, but I feel that through the many conversations that we had via PM or on the forum, he was a great person & someone that I treasure as a real friend.  You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers and if there is anything that you need please let your forum family know.  

Friends, Keith Taylor & Shelly Merritt

Quoted from Raapio

Dear Judith,
We cannot find any words to express our feelings after we heard the sad news.
When we called you yesterday we were hoping for some good news. We never expected to hear that JeePee passed away.
We are in shock ! As we know JeePee, he was a fighter. But man can never win an unfair fight !!
Losing a friend like JeePee and knowing you Judith and others,  are in pain and grief hurts us a lot. We hope you, your family and JeePee's family will find the strength to carry on and live life as JeePee wanted. We know for sure his spirit lives on.

We will never ever forget this great and lovely guy !

Also remember that you can always count on us, no matter what !!

With all our love,

R.I.P JP, God Bless

Quoted from Bev

You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he lived,
You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on,
You can cry and close your mind be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, and go on.

R.I.P. Prof. JP

Quoted from Ade

I felt great sadness when told of the loss of JeePee, he was a fighter and deserved a better shot in life than the cards which where dealt him.
He battled on with his great love, while most would have given up.
I felt honoured to have met the great man a few years ago and we returned the compliment by inviting both JeePee and Judith into our home last year. He was very honest and sincere.
His loss to this Forum and to Jack Daniel collectors around the world will be a great and terrible loss.
JeePee will remain in my thoughts now and many days to come.

Gone but never forgotten.

We are very very sorry for your loss Judith, but stay strong and never forget there are many friends here on the forum that you can turn too for just a chat or a shoulder to lean on. You are part of our huge family, please do not forget this.  God Bless.

Quoted from Dan

I'm writing this with tear filled eyes so hope it is readable.  What a sad way to start my morning reading about JeePee's passing.  I echo all the previous posts.  I too never got the privilege to meet the man but through emails and this forum I learned just what a great person he was.  I have never attended the BBQ but was so hoping he would be able to attend this year and I would have sold everything I own just to get there and meet him.  That now won't happen but feel blessed just having the limited contact online.
May God comfort you Judith, JP's family and yours.  He will be missed on the forum but his spirit will live on here.
Be strong Judith!!
Dan

Also, a couple pieces in my collection just became a little more special

Quoted from qdctj

Judith,

My deepest condolences to you and JeePee’s family.  I’m sitting here speechless with sadness.  JeePee nominated me into the Squire association and even though we never met in person, I feel like I have known him many years and consider him a close friend.

If there is anything you need from us, please don’t hesitate to ask.  We will always be here.

Tom James

Quoted from Belgianjack

Judith,


My deepest condolences to you and Jeepee's family, I'm out off words now don't know what to say at all, I feel so sad reading this.
I'm keeping Jeepee in the heart all the time for now and ever, he was a real nice guy.

If there is anything we (I) can do for you let me know, we are a family and will stay a family.

Ruud

Quoted from jdtribute

Judith,

It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we all hear this news.

I must say with the deepest regret that I never met Jeepee himself, but I would consider him a friend through our dealings and shared love of 'all things Jack'. He was at the very heart of the Jack Daniels community and worldwide family of collectors, a true inspiration to us all, and his legacy is all the tributes in this thread. He had friends all over the world, and was respected and admired by us all here on the forum, and touched many people beyond those who write here.

My heart goes out to you, Judith, you have been on this long journey with Jeepee, and you have been his rock throughout. My heartfelt smypathy is with you now, please let me know if there is anything I can do, or anything you need.

Rest in peace Jeepee, you will never be forgotten here, your memory will live on for a long time yet, my friend.

Quoted from squireno7

I never met Jeepee in person but he was a great JD collecting inspiration. the folks at the distillery always talk of him when they hear Im a collector. the store owners all know of him so you know how much he was loved around the square. I would have really enjoyed getting to meet him. I am sorry for your loss, Rich & Monica.

Quoted from wattsjada

Since lastnight, all I've done is log on and read this thread.  I can't think of anything else.  There are no jokes today, nothing will be funny for a long time.  I am at a loss for words.  I haven't posted until now, because I don't know what to say.  My heart aches for the loss of this great man....my friend.  I never got to make the trip to meet him in person.  We've talked on the phone and in e-mails & PM's.  Joe visited twice.  Once before his transplant and then again when he was at the height of his health.  I know how dear he held JeePee's friendship.  Joe is in Russia now and will have to face this devastating news alone.  Babe, I'm so sorry that I can't be there with you to comfort you.  We have the forum to gather and mourn together.

Judith, I wish I could find the right words.  But I know they don't exist.  I will probably post something more appropriate, later, right now I am numb with sorrow.  I just want you to know that I am thinking of you.  You have been so strong through all this.  Take care of yourself.  JeePee loved you so much.  If there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Love and Compassion,
Donna xxx

Quoted from Warren

Judith;
  There seems to be nothing to say that can possibly alleviate this sadness.
  He was the best there ever will be and you deserved decades together.
  We are all a little bit better for having known him; But terribly diminished by losing him.
  I don't know why collecting JD matters without him. I would never have become even the little collector that I am if it was not for him.  I imagine that he would want us to continue with what he loved though; So we will see.
With all of the strength and caring that we have to offer;
Warren and Cory

Love to you Judith and My friend forever...........JeePee........



You know who..........

Quoted from oleno7collector

I know exactly how you feel. I am still in disbelief.......I really wish someone would pinch me and wake me upfrom this horriable, horriable dream/nightmare....

Judith, I know how I am feeling I cannot imagine, what you must be going through.

Mandy

Quoted from jackdanielscoincollector

Dear Judith

Sadly I never was able to meet JeePee but he was an incredible person.  When I started collecting he was the man with all the answers and never seemed to get tired of a person asking dumb questions that he knew for years.  He was always polite even though I asked the dumbest of question.  I was hoping to meet him this next summer.......Even though I am Texas you just have to ask and I will do anything I can do to help.  JeePee was an incredible person and enjoyed sharing his knowledge.  There is a void now but that void will fill with memories and remembering the good times.  Rest with Jack JeePee and enjoy the taste of heaven.  I guess now we can call it the JeePee share instead of the angles share, in which I will gladly give to him.

I raise my glass and bow to the man that has helped us all be a better person.

Glenn Small

Quoted from xristphr1968

The following is from Kathy.. Our Squire Lady...

Thanks for sharing the picture with me, I was very saddened to hear of JeePee’s death. There has very been a more dedicated Tenn. Squire or more loyal Jack Daniel fan. I am sure he will be missed by family and many, many friends

worldwide.  JeePee  was an inspiration to all that knew him.

Quoted from wattsjadajoe

Thanks for being there for me JeePee and Judith.....

Quoted from Dawn

I can't put into words the way we feel about JP passing away he was truly an inspiration and a gentleman who I'm glad I had the chance to meet. He will leave a big gap here on the forum and will always be in our hearts.

It's times like this where we all need to stop and take note of what we have got and hold on to it and cherish every moment like it's our last before it's too late.

Judith I'm so sorry for your loss as well as JPs family , if you need anything at all please don't hesitate to ask even if it's just to let of some steam we are here for you and always will be.

Quoted from JimmyandJen

Judith,

Jen and I want to express our deepest sympathies.  I knew JeePee was my kind of people from when I first got onto this site and he doctored up the picture I had taken with Jimmy Bedford.  He put my face on all the people in that picture.  It is because of JeePee that Jack and all of you are such a big part of our lives and our family.  He has been someone that I have looked to for knowledge and advise ever since.

Rest In Peace my friend.

Jimmy and Jen

Quoted from Gerrard08

Dear Judith, I have just got back from my hols and found this thread, I have just read through it with a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. Words cannot express what I am feeling right now. Even though I did not get to meet the great man himself I was aware of the presence he had in this extended family and what people had told me about JeePee.

Please accept my deepest sympathy to you all at this very sad time.

P.S Even though I was away at the time, he was in my thoughts all the time.

Quoted from Deloco

I want to express my deepest sympathies R.I.P Jeepee

We will all miss you

Quoted from egg_uk

I've seen this thread for a couple of days now, and I just don't know what to say. It came as big surprise to me, I'm not active on the collecting front  any more, and don't post a lot on this forum, but I like to keep up with what is going on. I always used to look forward to JeePee updating his site, before this forum, and he was kind enough to host a few pictures of my collection. I only corresponded with him a few times, but he was always very helpful, which I have seen countless times on here as well. He touched so many people, he will be missed

R.I.P. JeePee

Quoted from ketteringjack

Judith my deepest sympathies and thoughts are with you at this time. I had the pleasure of meeting him and always read his posts with interest - JeePee you will be sorely missed

Quoted from southernbelle

Dear Judith,
it is very hard to find words... there is nothing that can comfort you now and nobody can take away the pain.
I lost my brother some weeks ago and  a friend of mine told me "You have lost a lot but you can never lose
the time you spent with him". I wanted to share this words with you. If there`s anything we can do, pleasse let us know.

Monica & Norbert

Quoted from JD.Maniac

from member alden1620:

That's horrible news, I had no idea things went bad after his transplant. I feel awful for being so busy as not to see how everyone is doing on Maxwell House Forum.

Our heart pours out to Judith and their familys. Beyond that I am speechless for now........

Quoted from guzzipatatje

dear Judith,family and friends,

our deepest sympathies to you.he will be missed.

Quoted from oleno7collector

this poem was give to our family some years ago when my uncle died, I thought it was fitting:

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Quoted from Rob

Judith please accept my very deepest sympathy at your loss, you and your family are in our prays and thoughts at this extremely difficult time.

I've been trying to find the right words to try and express my feelings, but as so many others have said no words can ever come close to the expressing the great loss we are feeling for our friend.

Jeepee, and his site, were the reason I initially became interested in and started collecting Jack Daniel's items. During those early times he was always so helpful and open in helping me learn more and progress my collection. I remember the first time I spoke to Jeepee, via e mail, I was so inowe and honoured with his response, so friendly and warm, so passionate and enthusiastic. That never changed, even when his health would have broken a lesser man. As time progressed we spoke regularly, traded items, stories, knowledge, and shook hands on a number of occasions. I will never forget you my friend, and will miss you but I am thankful of the true honour and privilege I feel to have known you. You are in my thoughts each and everyday, you were and will always continue to be an inspiration and true gentleman.

Quoted from fluffyskulls

I know that Trevor has already posted a reply on this thread but I so wanted to say personally how very honoured and priviledged I feel to have met the man who was held in such high esteem and that I'd heard so much about.  

Although I met JeePee only once, I couldn't help but be touched by his courage and zest for life - we should all take a leaf out of JeePee's book.  A true CHAMPION....

'All things of dearest value, hang on slender strings'....

Cheers to you JeePee - I raise my glass...Much Love - Jenny xXx (Mrs Fluffy)

[quote=259]Judith,

I�m shocked by what I read now and can not realy find words, even no words can express what I feel now. Only a few days ago I unpacked the packed from JeePee and now he�s gone, still can�t belive it.

Please accept me deepest condolences for you, your and JeePees family

He will be missed a lot

Wolfgang

Quoted from tmkc2000

It was very sad news to hear about our friend Jee Pee.  I knew of the struggle he had been through with his health and since he was such a fighter I took it for granted that he would live forever.  That's why it came as such a shock.  I had many dealings with him in the past and felt as if I had known him for a long time.  In our last email we discussed how we would finally meet once he came back to Lynchburg for a visit.    I'm very disappointed in that I will never get that opportunity now.  Jee Pee understood how my husband and I try to stay as private about our business as possible and he always respected that.  I'll never understand how someone could put up with all the questions I used to send his way.  He was always polite and very giving of his information.  I think it would be safe to say that he was a major factor in most of us collecting as we do.  I find it hard to beileve that he won't be there to anwer back.  I will miss him dearly.

My sympathy to all his family and friends

Judith,

We just sent you a PM...having just heard the sad news of JeePee's passing, please know that you and all of your family are in our thoughts.  Being so far away at a time like this, we remember him as one of the first helpful & friendly people to guide us as we were becoming official "JD collectors", brings back some great memories.

We are glad to have been given the opportunity to meet you both a few years back at the BBQ.  Our kids will always remember him as "that nice man overseas who sent them their first pair of Dutch clogs"!  He may be gone physically but never far from a good memory.  All our love to you during this difficult time.

Tribe: a collection of people with common interest. We have lost a very dear member of our tibe and he will be sorely missed. My greatest sympathies are with you and your family.

Jim

Quoted from TateC

JeePee will be sorely missed by all.  His website and help were my very first introduction to the JD collecting world and the the forum itself.  The forum will not be the same without him.  The world will not be the same without him.
  
Judith please take comfort in the fact that he touched so many around the world.  This is an accomplishment that not many can claim.

Rest in peace JeePee

R.I.P. JeePee

You were my first inspiration into JD collecting, and I will forever miss the jdcollectorspage updates.  You were a true gentleman when I spoke with you on several occassions, and I appreciate the kindness and courtesy you always extended to a complete stranger.  Not many people can boast that they have such a great reputation and group of friends all over the world as you do.  

Quoted from Jack MI

Judith,

I want to offer my condolences to you and the entire family.  I never had the honor of meeting JeePee but have corresponded a few times.  He was a tremendous human being who will be so greatly missed.  We've all lost a part of our hearts with his passing - I am so very sorry.

With Sympathy,

Roger

Quoted from jazzman

Judith,

I am so sorry to hear the news of Jeepee's passing. I'm sure he fought all the way to the end, he was a fighter well before his transplant.
Logging on to look at the forum, I never expected to see this sad news, it is a complete shock.

He will be missed right around the world, not only from those lucky enough to meet him, but other who only knew him from thr forum.
We have all lost a friend, forum member, and most importantly a loved one.
All the best to you Judith,  your family, and Jeepees family.

You'll be missed Jeepee. The next drinks for you mate! :toast2

Jarrad, Leanne and family.

Judith,
