I had the extreme pleasure of meeting Jon and his son David through my vendor audits at Specialty Pipe and Tube, and as my time spent with him was actually brief over the years, meeting this kind gentleman at the audit times and even getting a round of golf in, I had the feeling like I had known him for years as a close friend. Just a few weeks prior to his passing, and another audit, I walked out to the shop and the first two men to greet me with a hand shake and a hug were Jonathan and David! If he had this big of an impact on me, I can't fathom the enormous impact he must have had on his family and his friends. His kindness, his infectious smile and yes, his greeting with a handshake and a hug will live with me forever. To David and Jonathan's family, please accept my sincere condolences and know that my heart and prayers are with you all at this difficult time! David Baumler, Advanced Thermal Systems
