Bob Ball
Diane and Family,
Our sympathy and prayers in the loss of Jon. He fought to the end while maintaining a positive attitude during the battles. During our last conversation he said he was "holding my own" which so reflected the man I knew when he as an Area Engineer on our staff in Medina. He was always positive regardless of the challenge ahead. Selecting Jon from a panel of very qualified applicants maybe in 1984 soon proved to be a very wise decision. He blended in so well with our staff and Area 2 field personnel quickly learned Jon was someone who truly wanted to help them solve complex engineering problems. Jon was fortunate initially in having engineers Tom Jones and Clint Liezert in the office to bounce questions and alternatives with. Those conferences were not really needed for long because Jon typically had the right solutions in mind. He was such a terrific engineer. He was an even better person who will be missed by so many who knew him.
