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 […]
I knew Jon from his time in the Production Planning and Logistics department. In that time, the Planning depart was extremely busy and complicated. Jon’s role was to plan production for our domestic facilities and to integrate all export requirements into our factory schedules. Jon was a perfect fit for this assignment. He was very […]

Daddy featured in a Philip Morris annual report in 1996 for increasing accuracy and timeliness in the fixed budgeting process.
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.

I met and worked with Jon. I had a new job, and this was my first exposure to PM’s manufacturing. Jon was a unique individual. With his deep and booming voice, he was always willing to help me with whatever I needed. He was kind, he was funny, and he was very intelligent. He had […]
For your dad, work was a party. For me work was a war. We were both in the Industrial Engineering department and your dad managed to negotiate only working on the budgets which required very little time and effort. He had it down to a science so that all the analysis and work was done […]
