Not sure what to say?

It´s not really possible to believe that my best and dearest friend Jon has been gone for 10 years. Like all of his family and friends I go on thinking of him when I see an item somewhere or hear a song or read a report on some new technology, all of which make me think of him instantly. The moment of sadness is immediately followed by a much longer moment of fond remembrance, hearing his quick-witted humour, and knowing that my life is better for knowing him.

Jon was a truly unique individual. He was so bright, sociable and made everone he met feel like his best friend. I had the privelage of working with him at HP! He always engaged the sales force with his ability to put new perspectives on industry trends and new ways to think about htings. What a breath of fresh air for everyone who knew him. I will miss him in so many ways but his presence made the world such a better place! Rest in peace Jon.
