Hi Jon,
I was just looking through your portfolio with your bio picture in the top right corner. The family resemblance is immediately recognizable.

Thank you, my friend. I very much appreciate your kind words and the sentiment behind them. While my father's death was not unexpected, we didn't really expect is just this moment, if you take my meaning. I am sorry to hear of your father as well. I suppose, however, that this is the way the system is supposed to work. We mourn our parents, our children mourn us, and life goes on.
Take care,
Jon

Thanks, Rocco. We were shooting pool in our favourite pool hall, a gritty, concrete-walled place in the basement of an old warehouse building - the building is now condos, the pool hall now underground parking :-[ - and I got him to pose for me under the table lights. Developed by me and printed by hand in my own basement :-]

Thank you, Avishek. He died in his own bed in his own home, peacefully and quietly, with his family holding him. Can we ask for more?

Hello Jon,
We hardly know each other but for a few comments passed back and forth on this website. But, I can honestly say I know what you are going through. My Dad passed away suddenly in 1995, and every now and then, the emotions still run high. The about you have written is a wonderful tribute to a man anyone would be priveleged to have known.
Be well.
Andre

I cannot find the words. May his soul rest in peace, may you all find the power to carry this loss and the will to accept it.
God bless you all.
