Bill Warwick: On baseball
Your dad was great at many things but he was a horrible baseball player. When we had a challenge softball game between the Plant Industrial Engineers and the Headquarters Industrial Engineers Jon did not do well to say the least. After the game I told him that if he ever had a child that when […]
Rick Phelps: On gratitude
Jon, many thanks for…your wit and humor, your caring, the birthday and holiday cards, our early “new age” explorations, helping me “help” you buy a house, the jokes, the recipes, the humorous e-mails, the story telling, letting me borrow “Woody” for my Halloween costume, the early parties, for being quotable and quoting me, and most […]
Michelle Bailey: On remembering Jon

It has been said by many that Lisa and Jon were a great couple and it was always agreed. Jon’s wit, humor and intelligence will be missed by us all. The PM family has lost not only a great friend but also a tremendous asset.
