Paul, David, Maggie & Grandson; What a fine, wonderful man your dad and granddad was. Always smiling, willing and committed. He will be missed by all. Our deepest sympathy to all of you. Fondly, Anne and Jerry
We were deeply saddened to learn about Jon’s passing. My time at the Society of Manufacturing Engineers was made better by Jon Grove and I will always hold the memories of working with him as something special. His spirit for work and enthusiasm helped an entire staff at SME…he was a great professional. A special “take care” to Paul and David at this time of sorrow.
I was saddened to hear of the passing of Jon Grove. I worked with him at ASAE where I have fond memories of him always supporting me. Best wishes to the family. May you treasure your many memories. June Stafford
Paul and David, your father has been a mentor to me when we worked at SME, when he was at ASAE and after he retired. I am personally indebted to your dad for always being available whenever I (and many others) needed his advice and counsel. Jon’s caring soul is an example to us all on how to give back to our communities. Our thoughts are with you and your family.
Jon was a special man who lead and mentored many during his life and careers at SME and ASAE. His kind and deep voice was perfect for his many public speaking functions. He will be missed.
Your folks were well loved and we enjoyed many great times together. We’re deeply sorry for your loss and hope you will take some solace in knowing they’re together again.
Paul, during this difficult time our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
There is much to celebrate in the life of Jon Grove. He was a good man, a faithful friend, a consummate professional and above all a loving husband and father. He was my friend and mentor. I will miss him, but will do my best to honor his memory by living a life that follows his legacy. God- speed, Jon.
I have so many fond memories of Jon. He was one of the most caring people I’ve ever met. We shared many good times and a lot of hard work in the Executive Offices at SME. He taught me. He laughed with me. He was very respected for his commitment and loyalty. I always felt that Jon was one of those fortunate individuals who knew exactly what he wanted out of life … that he was very content with the decisions he had made along the way. As a result, he was able to share so much of himself with so many people. We all are better for the experience of having known him. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I just learned of Jon’s passing. So sorry for his loss. I was priveleged to work as a young professional at ASAE under Jon’s leadership back in the early 80s. The lessons I learned from him, both professional and personal have guided me throughout my life andd career. It has been my goal to ‘Pay It Forward’ on his behalf by passing those lessons on those with whom I’ve worked. I still have and treasure my first performance evaluation when he advised that you can only get one year of experience every twelve months. My life is infinitely richer because of you Rest in peace Jon…rest in peace.
