Jon loved sharp wit, horrendous puns, and intellectual brain teasers. He was amazing with word games. He’d stroll by the desk at lunch time, and utter an acronym.

I’ll never forget the fantastic surprise baby shower Jon and Lisa gave us. They invited friends from around the country and kept it a total secret from me. When I walked in their back door in Creekwood, I was speechless! My dad was visiting us so it was an extra special event for all of us. […]
Jon loved practical jokes and was always coming up with ideas on who to mess with and how. The only trouble was that he never wanted to play the joke himself. He would spend hours trying to convince someone else to play it. When they finally broke down and agreed to do it he made […]

I met Jon when I came to work with the Philip Morris industrial engineering group, first as an intern, and then, as a bay engineer after I finished school. Jon was my mentor all through that period.

Celebrating Jon
