Frequent poster JJmcgr passed away on Wednesday March 30. We may no have always agreed with his posts, but I think we can all agree he added to this message board.

I noticed you appear to have the same last name as him: McGrath. Were you related to him? Just wondering how you found out so quickly.

He was my dad, though we lived in different parts of the country.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed reading your dad's posts.

I enjoyed your dad's posts and will miss reading his thoughts on cases. I am so sorry for your loss.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your father. This is quite a shock. I enjoyed discussing numerous cases with him this past month.

So sorry to hear this. He will be missed.

I'm sorry for your loss. While I don't contribute much, I do read this site regularly and always enjoyed his posts.

Oh no. That is terrible. I can't remember when I've been so numb after opening a thread.

No, I didn't always agree with jjmcgr, specifically on EAR-A and a copycat EAR-B, but always appreciated the ton of effort and research he provided, specifically on that EAR-ONS case on the old A&E board and applied to his own site on that case. I tried to communicate that point to him once he started posting more frequently here recently, that he made a big difference. In fact, his EAR-ONS site is often referenced for material that can't be found anywhere else.

I'm glad he seemed to be active and upbeat until the end, or very close to the end. I remember him posting in many threads in recent weeks and months. I had no idea this was imminent.

RIP

Oh, no. Horrible news.

Although I didn't engage him too much in conversation, I did always enjoy the perspectives he brought to the table.

I will miss reading his posts. My condolences to you and your family.

RIP.

He was a quality poster from what I've seen.
