Not sure what to say?

Rest in peace.

Condolences to P.J's family and friends. May you all me granted comfort from your loving Creator who understands your loss at this time.

Many many years ago, my childhood neighbor, Mrs Downer, let PJ and I spend the weekend at the their cottage. PJ was more interested in reading his comic book than playing at the lake. He was preparing for his great future.
I am proud to say I knew him.
Condolences to his sisters.

Was a never afraid to state his opinion in his writing.

Condolences to the entire O’Rourke family. Our prayers and thoughts are with you. PJ will be forever remembered by the number of kindness’s he gave me and many others. He was a giant of a man to me.

My deepest condolences to the family. May you find comfort
in your treasured memories of Your loved one and May God continue to comfort you in the days, months and years ahead.

When I was a young lad growing up in the frigid north of Toronto (Canada, eh?) I first discovered PJ as my favorite writer of the legendary National Lampoon (which I, as a teen male-their target demographic-adored) Years later, after I graduated from journalism school (oxymoron?) whenever I wrote a freelance article I used "PJ" instead of my names (whose initials are P & J)as an homage. The loss of his immense talent and unique satirical brilliance comes at a time we need him--and them--most....

We all enjoy some well written satire. You will be missed by your fans. Condolences to the family. Soon no one will say I am sick. Isa. 33:24
