CNXBKKMAN Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Take it easy NJ and I hope you are back on your feet soon. Northern John always seemed like a decent poster to me and Hello Dolly was fine to. No idea why he was removed from the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern John always seemed like a decent poster to me and Hello Dolly was fine to. No idea why he was removed from the forum. Yes, he went down the memory hole as HelloDolly and re-emerged as NorthernJohn. He had spunk, and his often eccentric posts were usually entertaining. I agree with you... he seemed fundamentally decent. Wishing him a full recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptheos Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 We were only chatting on the 19th about his decision to leave a health matter another year (not stroke related), and his upcoming plan to go to Seattle with his wife. We chatted about a few other things and he was generally upbeat about things, positive and forward looking. The news of his stroke has shook me quite a lot and I sincerely hope he recovers to the point where he can have a decent quality of life. None of us know what's in store or when.. Just keep fighting NJ, keep fighting like you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saan Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 You have made me shake my head, you have made me laugh and I have always enjoyed your malapropisms. I hope you have a speedy recovery. NJ's plight might be a timely warning to some of us. My cardiologist in Australia said every man over 50 should take a mini aspirin a day to help avoid a stroke.

MamaSan Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Does anyone have an update regarding his condition? Does anyone know what hospital he is in? Not for the purpose of a possibly unwelcome visit, but to find out how he is doing. He's still in ICU and as of yesterday, still not breathing on his own. He opened his eyes a few times but didn't show any recognition. Docs say it's going to be a long haul... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyecatcher Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Get well soon NJ He was always nattered and impeded by his health wasnt he? I had a few conversations with him and invited him to come walking with me. This is one small snippet, you can see his trademark spelling gaffs and vocabulary even here Me: Why dont you try the walk around wat Palaad, at the foot of doi suthep. one hour or so to do the loop, leisurely but wouldnt want to aggravate hip joints obviously, but if gentle excercise is what may benefit you...its a nice peaceful stroll.I go regularly with some tv members..all enjoy immensely. If its a gentle push you need...you can come with me one day.take care. NJ: Sounds good to me. I probably won't keep up but it would bbe a good thing for me to do and this is a good gentle push.Just got into Krabi today will be here for a week. Definatly interested in it though. Not sure where Wat Palaad is but I imagine a tuk tuk driver would.Just what kind of ground is it level up and down hill and daale? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAJ Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 I follow this forum and have decided to sign up in order that I may add my very best wishes for a decent recovery. NJ in his younger days was always a hard worker, he is honest, has a good sense of humor and straight forward. I can only hope that he recovers well enough to have some quality of life, he's a fighter, he can do it! It's really nice to see so many positive comments and get well messages.

When I mentioned that TV posters were saying nice things about him, I could have sworn that there was a faint flicker of a smile. It's nice to see folks pulling together, albeit over such sad circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theDukes Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Jay has passed. My condolences to his son and family, particularly his wife. He was a fun guy that loved to stir the pot. He must have pulled me aside 50 times in the last 10 years to tell me his new name on ThaiVisa or to talk about what he was messing with. He got a kick out of it. Here's to Jay.

Gonzo the Face Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Death is always a moment of great sadness for someone. Don't like seeing any member of our group pass. Maybe that is just my own total of years talking. Rest in Peace NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
