Hi Avri,

This is such sad news. I had no idea Jon was unwell. He was such a kind and clever man; so unassuming when he joined Council even though he knew so much more about just about any topic than most. Jon and I used to talk a lot about science fiction, which he loved and was extremely knowledgeable and generous about. It is sad to think he is gone.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hi,

I just learned that Jon, once a member of the council, died yesterday.

I just wanted to remember him as a really good guy who added a lot to every group and every conversation he was in.

I will miss talking to Jon.

Not sure where official comments etc on Jon are but his wiki page was updated.  Really quite a amazing guy.
