Jon was one of the first to welcome me when I came to Infrastructure on a rotational assignment in 2014, and then permanently in 2015. I never worked with him directly, but it was always a pleasure to run into him in the hall or the pantry. Jon always had a kind word or a funny story, and commiserated with me wholeheartedly as I tackled the challenge of navigating the DC school lottery. He always remembered details from our conversations and was genuinely interested in what was going on in my life. One thing I really appreciated about Jon was that he never beat around the bush. If he needed help with something, he asked for exactly what he needed, and was very clear with his instructions. That is an uncommon skill, and worth gold. I have missed seeing Jon since his retirement, and will continue to do so. Rest in peace, Jon. You were a gem.
