Jon & Moores

Jon was someone who always had good friends, a supportive family & loyal colleagues. It was something in his nature. Peter Wilson, the CEO of Moores, said of Jon in a letter to Fiona,

".....I have known Jon since he started with the company in 1994 and he was well liked and well respected by everyone who came into contact with him."

I was lucky to have worked with Jon for 10 years and shared an office with him for six of those. You can't fail to get to know someone pretty well after that time. I liked and admired Jon for many reasons but perhaps most of all for his determination and perseverance. He liked to make sure things were right. In an article published in MooreSpeak (the company newsletter), Peter wrote:

"..throughout the last few years, Jon faced this illness with fortitude, courage, good humour and a tremendous strength of character. Jon was hard working, his work was always to a very high standard and he made sure that everyone he dealt with felt comfortable and valued. He was one of the most well liked and respected people within the company. His positive attitude was a lesson to us all and he will be sadly missed...."

Jon's character & postive attitude was always evident. I used to go cycling with Jon (always finding it difficult to keep up!) and during his last few weeks he was making plans with me to ride the red mountain bike route in Dalby forest.

In his letter to Fiona, Peter went on to say to Fiona,

"Throughout the battle that he had fought over the last years, his courage, determination, dignity and positive attitude have been a shining example to everyone and I know that he could not have fought this battle withbout your unstinting support and that of your family. Jon will be sadly missed and long remembered by us all"
