Jon was one of a kind. His talent and confidence were paired with the best, wry sense of humor. I enjoyed working with him as much as anyone at Wachovia.

Very sorry to hear of Jon's death! I worked with Jon for 15 years in the Tax Department for First Wachovia. He was a good leader and taught me so much about taxes and so much about life. Wonderful man and he will be missed!!

My interactions with Jon were always pleasant and professional. He was a true gentleman. My condolences to his family.Bill Dunn
For someone devoted to taxes, Jon would always add a laugh as well as sage advice on how to proceed. Just thinking of him brings a smile.

When the "tax man cometh" for Wachovia, Jon was the first line of defense. Like others have mentioned, his extensive knowledge of IRS codes and rules did not overshadow his easy going manner and quirky sense of humor. His wide grin was on frequent display along with a good laugh in the interactions I had with Jon. He had meticulous attention to detail that served the bank well during the continous IRS audits he managed.
RIP.
