Fucking sucks. RIP

 

 

Ugh RIP. 

 

 

Wow this is horrible.

 

RIP Juan.

 

 

RIP Juan. I am glad I got to know him. Just a tremendous man who did so much for me. I'll never forget him.

 

For those that didn't know, Juan was a member of this site. Not an active one anymore but he used to visit here often and posted a few times. He spent time with me in Florida a few times when I went. He introduced me to some influential people. He was the first person to mention this site in the news. He just did a lot for me both personally and professionally and was a genuine person.

 

He was a role model for me and I am glad I was able to tell him that a few months ago at least when I could still reach him.

 

 

It's neat to see the kind words flowing from twitter. 

 

 

Wow, poor guy. I feel terrible for his family. RIP

 

 

Very sad.  RIP

 

 

RIP....will be missed.

 

 

 

Yeah very humorous. Please.

 

 

R.I.P

 

 

I have been read his article both Sun-sentinel and Baseball America. Especially, BA Marlins prospects articles were so precious to judge them. It's so sad not to see them again. RIP

 

 

RIP

 

 

Wow I remember reading his articles. What a loss.

 

 

RIP.

 

 

I missed this news the other day.  Seemed like such a good guy, always responded to emails & really level-headed.  Read his articles for a long time.

 

Damn.   RIP.
