Sad to hear so belatedly of the passing of a kind and generous soul with razor wit and broad good-natured humor. I first knew his as a sysadmin of a SCO Unix forum on Compuserve. I learned much from him and he shared his knowledge without reserve. We met several times at SCO Forums over the years. In 2006 at a SCO product launch event he invited me to his home in NYC and I met his lovely wife, Jane and we went out to dinner together and had a wonderful time. NYC was such a lovely place then and dining there with lovely people is a treasured memory. RIP, JP. You did good. Now go and enjoy /dev/eternity.

JPR

All I can say is thank you for the many times you helped me berth my interest with Unix and then Linux. Thank you for your steadfast kindness in helping a beginner like me.

So saddened to hear about the passing of JP, the last of a legendary family for whom I modeled for many years. I frequently saw him in the neighborhood in NY and the last time I saw him, he was sitting peacefully in his favorite garden. A gentle giant, RIP

I knew JP for many years in the 90s and looked forward to seeing him at SCO Forum every summer. He was one of many people who helped me to get my software company off the ground in 1995 and although I haven't seen him in at least 15 years, I'm saddened by the loss of such a wonderful man and amazed by so many things that I've just learned by reading his obituary. Condolences to Jane and all who were lucky enough to have known him.

I never met JP in person, but we had a long friendship and professional relationship starting back in the days of the Compuserve SCOForum. JP helped me out many times with my computer systems, but over time I came to think of him as my friend beyond our professional relationship. I will miss him greatly both personally and professionally.
