I have been thinking about you a lot the past few days. Today will be difficult. It is Groundhog Day. It would have been your 41st birthday. It is hard to believe it has been a year since you took your leave of this life. For a man who had such comedic gifts your timing on this leaves something to be desired. There was still so much to do and say. I miss you very much. I hope you found your peace my friend.

I have found myself thinking about you the past few days. It has been a year since you took your leave of us. Funny, tomorrow would have been your 41st birthday. Ground-hog day. For a man with such a great comic wit, your timing on this leaves a bit to be desired. I still miss you very much. I hope you have found your peace, my friend...

What can be said - even after a year, it still seems unfathomable that we've had this loss. JP was my first love - our lives were totally intertwined, his family was my family and mine his. I remember our apartments, our house, him teaching me to cook, the auditions, the jokes, his eyes and the day he asked me to marry him. I am thankful for all he gave me, You will always be in my heart, JP -

J, J.P., Japers I've always admired and respected you for the way you lived your life. You were the most loving, exciting, adventurous, intelligent, kind, wonderful person that I always strived to be. I just wish that you had lived long enough to fufill your dreams and have a real family. I believe that you were meant to have that. You are in my heart and my soul and my dreams every night. I can't tell you how much I miss you and think about you. I miss you so much. My big brother, my only brother. I wish you were here.

It's been many years now since I have worked with JP, but I can still remember JP very well. And I can't say that for most people I have known. JP is one of those characters that I will mostly likey remember my entire life. I think that must say something to the lasting strength and impression of his spirit.

I had the pleasure of working with JP on many occasions, and meeting him several times. I was shocked and saddened to hear of his untimely passing, and will miss him very much. I extend my condolences to his family and many friends.

JP was an integral part of our family's lives for the better part of 4 years. I remember the family gatherings we attended together, the birthday parties for Keila and Hannah, the very special birthday dinner he gave me and my family a couple of years ago, and so many many more memories. He was kind and generous. He had good heart...a heart of gold, and a genuine interest in people. My sympathy and condolences go out to his many friends and family who are grieving this untimely loss. He will be in my heart and memory forever. May God's peace and comfort be extended to loved ones who are grieving his passing.

Every day the initial shock wears off a little bit more and reality settles in. Still, I can't come to terms with the fact that I will never again see that beautiful smile upon his face, hear him tell fascinating stories from his past, or watch him make a fool of himself and not care, which only made myself and everyone else love him more. He was not your average everyday joe, there was something special, something magical about him and the energy he omitted was unlike any other I've seen. Despite painful feelings and suffering, I loved JP and always will. He was such a huge part of me and my girls lives and will always be. There isn't one day that goes by where I don't come across something that reminds me of him. The day he died, a piece of me died with him that can never be replaced or forgotten!

JP's family would like to thank all of his friends and co-workers for all of your wonderful thoughts and beautiful stories. You knew him well. We'll always miss him very much and can hold on to all of the memories and love.

It is so unbelievable that someone so vibrant could be gone so untimely from this life. J.P. was one of the most sincere people I have ever met, always generous and fun, and just full of life. J.P., your only "faults" were loving too fully and trying too hard to help. You were one of the good ones, with a strong and loving soul. I guess God calls the good ones home early. My heart weeps for your family, and my family and I will miss you here in this world.

JP taught me a great deal that was work related while he was alive. He has taught me even more about life with his passing. A really great guy whose number came too early and will be missed by all who knew him.

J.P meant so much to me, he was a great friend , like a brother to me. He had such a special way of making people feel good when they were down. I can't believe he's gone this is such a horrible and sad shock to me. My heart goes out to all his friends and family.

JP, you are the definition of passion, sunshine on a rainy day, a contagious smile and a dash of Johnny Cash. "Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away." Thank you for unforgettable moments to cherish, I'll never be the same. ~Lacylou

I had the pleasure of meeting JP through Kelly and Jack. I had spent many times with them and a few with Kellys family including JP.He was such a sweet and very funny man, always making jokes, you could see that he loved to make people laugh and that is how i will remember him. I am so very sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to Kelly and Kathy and everyone else that JP knew and cared for. My prayers and all my love go to you all. God Bless your entire family.

"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center." Kirt Vonnegut
He was one of JP's favorite authors and I think it sums him up perfectly. I'm sorry he went over the edge. My love and thoughts are with all of the family. I will miss him.

JP was a riot. A bolt of energy. An entertainer. He was a creator with many ideas. A wonderful actor.
He also looked sexy in his black western wear. He will be missed by many. My prayers go out to the family and friends to help us get thru this very unexpected tragic loss.

It's hard to believe that someone with so much energy could actually be gone. I remember JP from when I worked with him at Keane. I hadn't seen him in many years but the memory of his quick wit and charm will stay with me forever. My thoughts go out to his family.

I am so sorry to read about JP's passing. My heart goes out to family and friends. I used to work with JP at Keane, many years ago. What a character he was! :) Always happy and smiling. Oddly, I was just remembering the other day how about 10 years ago he helped me deal with the death of a close friend. I pray peace and comfort for you all...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I meet JP when I started working at Keane. When I first started there I was fortunate to be seated next to him, so I got to see him every work day. He was always there to helped to me with tough calls or just someone to talk to. He always treated me with respect and I appreciated that. He will be missed.

I remember JP with much fondness. He was one of the first to welcome me into the Keane family. My memories of JP... he was brilliant and beautiful with a great sense of humor. My prayers are with his family.
