Pam, Gabrielle and Amanda, My deepest sympathy to you. I am very sad for you and me. I worked with JP at the Davis Estate from 1989 until the estate closed. JP was always a very happy man and he spoiled it for me to eat out. He was the best chef. He was the best person I ever worked with, always a smile. He adored you Pam and his girls who he was so proud of. He talked about you always. He will always have special memories for me. Take care and my prayers are with you. Lynn

I was shocked and saddened to read about "J.P." in the paper. I went to work at the Davis Estate in Nov. '97, and it was not long before he became one of my all time favorite people.My sincere condolences to his family.
