My best friend, buddy and life companion died today at approximately 1:25 p.m. while riding his bike and preparing for the Stanley Time Trial. Jon had a heart attack mid-way thru his ride - it appeared that he went off the road and into a grassy area where he was found by a medical professional who was on her way home from work. She administered CPR until para medics arrived. Jon always said the Pie Riders were a great group of people to be around. Thanks Bob Swanson for hosting the ride on July 4th - our last one together. Jon loved the course, the great food and the camaraderie with our special friends that followed. He was planning and looking forward to the Memorial Ride for Tim Dusick in a few weeks. Jeff Sorenson agreed to make sure this event happens - thanks, Jeff.

With much sadness but grateful for the 23 years I spent with Jon, it is time to say goodbye.
