Bob - please pass my condolences to his family.
Jon sold me a piece of equipment for RTTY a while back and was very helpful
to me when I was trying to get it working in my station. He continued to
drop me notes when he saw my name on the RTTY reflector, asking me how I was
doing, or congratulating me on an accomplishment. I had always hoped to meet
him one day and think him again in person. I'm sorry to hear he is gone.
