Sad to report the loss of a DCP member


Recommended Posts

I just found out this morning-- thank you, Bill, for letting me know as I don't check FB very often. I had the honor of marching with Jon in the baritone section my age out year (his first in SCV) and in SCV TOR '04; he will be missed.

My thoughts are with Jon's family; may you rest in peace my fellow Baritone Brother, and say hello to Gail for us. :flower:

I'm heartbroken. Jon and I were in the same section all three years he marched SCV (2nd bari in 85 and 86, lead in 87). I can't say we were blood brothers or anything, as he was part of a tight-knit group of people from Washington. Still, I always respected him for being rock-solid as a marcher and player, for always being level-headed (although he got as fired-up as anybody when it was time to), and for never ever appointing himself hero. A true leader by example. That may seem like faint praise, but I've found that his combination of smarts, skill, and egolessness is all too rare.

Fortunately I got to spend some time with him in Pasadena in 2007 as well as virtually through DCP and Facebook. Farewell my friend.
