I was lucky to know and work with JJ. I enjoyed knowing him, his sense of humor, his integrity with friends and his excellent work.
LLUMC is still using applications that he built and they are saving us time and money every day.
He and I were joking one day about his office chair. He let me try it out. It was much better than mine.
A few years later when he was laid-off he saw to it that I got the chair. All smiles of course. Miss you JJ.
My prayers are with you LingLing. If there is ever anything I can help with, please call.

I can't tell you how many times he had me laughing and smiling. I loved working with him and always enjoyed his company.

Dear Lingling,
We are saddened to hear the news of your loss. The great memories we had in Texas will always be cherished. You and your family will be kept in our prayers. It seems like yesterday when we all went fishing together. We hope JJ enjoys fishing in heaven as much as he did during his time on earth.

What an incredible man. His laugh and sense of humour will be missed not only by his family but friends made at work. There wasn't a problem that JJ couldn't solve and usually with a lot of laughter included in the entire process. LingLing, know that you and your family are loved and he will be missed!
