Jon was a force to be reckoned with, working with him was never boring. He was the most happy when Shirli and he were married. Never saw him smile so much. Rest in peace my friend.

Though we met once he left such an impression. Such a kind man. Looking at him you can see that he was an adoring husband.

Although I hadn't yet met Jon in person, I felt as if I'd known him a long time because of my long-distance friendship with his wife Shirli.
It was abundantly clear how much they loved each other; and what joy they took from their marriage and life together.
My heart hurts with all of yours. AJ xx
