I remember chatting with Jens Rissom in the Knoll Chicago showroom during NeoCon. In my 26 year career with Knoll, of course I knew him as a famous and beloved designer. But, what I recall that we talked about was what we had in common as US ARMY veterans, he of WWII in Europe, me of Vietnam.
He now joins my Dad and the millions of men and women of that Greatest Generation who have gone on. He helped save the World for us Boomers, our children and grandchildren. I know he will rest in peace.
