Yesterday

I met Jon in 1978, our first year of law school. We were in a study group together and spent time socializing after classes. He was devoted to his three children who were very young when we were in school. They wore t-shirts that celebrated his passing the bar exam when the results were published. I fondly remember the wonderful, well-attended class parties Jon and Sue hosted at their home. I admired Jon first as a person, then a friend and then as an accomplished and capable trial attorney. Friends are easy to find when you're happy and successful. But "when the chips are down..." that is when a person´s loyalty and character come through. Jon came through for me, and my family, by having faith in me and introducing me to Worcester District Attorney Joe Early, Jr. Everything in my life would be very different but for Jon. And the thing that amazes me to this day is that he knew how thankful I was and yet it was no big deal to him. He was just helping a friend, as he did throughout his life, with the many other friends he had. Nothing lasts forever but I will always be thankful for Jon's friendship. May he rest in peace.
