Many incredible and precious memories of Jon will live on. Since we first met, when I was just 5 years old, he was always kind, inspiring, enthusiastic and so very much fun to be around. Still can't believe he's gone. What a loss to us all. But what a legacy he leaves. An amazing man. Missed. Always. xxx... Collapse

Jon, we will miss you ... were going to see you with Clem and Mark in Bluesgarage in Isernhagen, but you couldn't play the gig anymore.
So what will stay forever are many concerts with Colosseum, Paraphernalia and the UJRE where we met. You made life better for many people who enjoyed your playing the band. Your long lasting Love Affair with Barbara Thompson is a true prototype for me.... Collapse

A little late perhaps but I just wanted to pay my own small tribute to the most amazing drummer. Loved his work – Walking in the Park was a favourite with my wife and I. We saw him many years back at Norwich Art Centre and we were blown away. He was very encouraging to my daughter who went on to become a music journalist.... Collapse

I was privileged to see Paraphernalia a number of times, twice at Holland Park (GLC) benefit gigs and then probably 8 times at the Stables + the OU when Jon was ill and Gary Husband covered for him. I also loved Colosseum and Colosseum II. Jon was the complete package for me. Subtle and exuberant , fast and powerful with fantastic solos. To see him play at close quarters was such a pleasure. Sincere condolences to all his family and friends.... Collapse

I was present at the Pizza Express gig in London earlier this year, another great night.
I feel sick for his family at the moment.
Goodbye you gentleman, I'm going to miss you and the live gigs.
