Hi Beth, Ben, Joe, and Ally - I am a colleague of Jon's, and am speechless and so saddened to hear of his untimely passing.

Renae Flanders

I went to middle and high school with Jon. I have such wonderful memories of him from then -- fun, smiling and caring -- a wonderful person. It sounds that he grew into an amazing adult which does not surprise me at all. My heart is with all of his family. May his memory be for a blessing.

Kimberly Link Carper

We are so saddened to hear about the passing of Jon. He had so much energy and passion in whatever he did. He always took the time to talk to us and made an effort to connect with everyone. I coached with Jon, and in all my years I have never met someone as competent and organized as him. He will truly be missed. We pray for Jon, his lovely wife, his parents and his children. May the Lord ease their difficulty. It was truly an honor to know such a man.

Naveed and Atiya Masood

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Jon's passing. Jon and I were colleagues at Aon. Since I work out of the Hatboro, PA office we never met in person, although he was never more than a phone call away and was always willing to help. Jon was one of the most genuine people I had the opportunity to know both professionally and personally. My sincerest condolences go out to the entire Shapiro family. Jon will be forever missed.

Theresa Kaminski

I am so sorry to hear about Jon's passing. I have worked with Jon for several years at Aon. Although I work in the Hatbox, PA office , I had the opportunity to meet Jon last year while visiting Chicago. He was passionate about his job and his family. Jon was always a pleasure to work with. He was a great friend and colleague and will be greatly missed. My sincerest condolences go out to the entire Shapiro family.

Stephanie Owens

I am a colleague of Jon's from Aon, and from when I joined the firm 2.5 years ago he took me under his wing and shared his valuable knowledge and experience with me, but even more precious than his stories of "bad guys" caught in financial crimes, were the stories he shared about his family. I especially enjoyed the stories of summer camp, both his and now the kids. He will be missed dearly. Our prayers are with your family.

J.T. Haas

Jon could never have anything but a smile on his face and a positive influence on anyone he met. We are especially grateful to have known him throughout our years with AYSO soccer and the impact he made with every child he coached. We have a heavy heart with this news and our thoughts and prayers are with the rest of his family.

David and Anne Neumann

We are so very socked and saddened at the tragic loss of such a wonderful man! He was truly a great coach and father and always had such a positive attitude! We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers and light a candle for Jon.

Janine Galante

Dear Beth, Ben, Joe & Ally,

I have worked with Jon for several years at Aon. He was a great colleague and a great friend. This is the most tragic news and I'm at a loss for words. Jon talked of all of you often and he was happiest when he was on his way home to his family. He had such a positive impact on my work life that I can't imagine walking into work and not having him there. He will be truly missed.

Teffani Zadeh

I keep thinking this can't be real. I keep remembering Jon's laugh and thinking about a million memories...skiing, hiking, eating, traveling, dancing. I felt so blessed to have connected Jon with Beth because I knew he found his soulmate. I will think of him often, and always with love. I pray for all who have to go on without him, and especially for Beth, Ben, Joe and Ally. I know he will watch over you for all of your days.
Love Always,
Michelle

Michelle Leissner

Jon, rest in peace!

Biddy Pun

Bless your soul Jon. Good friends and family will deeply miss you.

Corey Martens

I remember at an Aon conference I asked Jon whether he wanted the microphone to speak to the large group and he joked he could fill the room without a microphone â?? it was true.
Above and beyond the work issues we remember him for Jon was such a nice guy, interested in people and great fun to spend time with. He will be sadly missed even here in the UK.
My sincere condolences to his family.


Lindsey John Marsh

After 25 years at Aon I returned last October 2014. I liaised with Jon in Chicago prior to leaving on the FCPA project in September 2010 and then he spoke with me at length when I returned to Aon UK contracting last October to welcome me back.

Bless you Jon, a wonderful man. A true gentleman. More than a work colleague - rather a friend. God bless.

Peter Lloyd - Aon Ltd, London UK

PETER LLOYD

Ted Novy

Jon was a colleague and friend for many years. I cannot remember ever seeing him without a smile on his face. We will remember him fondly and celebrate the friendship and comaraderie we shared with him.

Rhonda Jenn

I worked with Jon over at Deloitte and we attempted to keep in touch over the years. One of main things I will always remember about Jon is his love his family. He spoke of you often and when he did you can tell that you were the light in his life. Condolences on your loss.

My heart is with Jon's family.

The joy and overflowing love Jon had for his family was evident every day here at Aon as he shared stories of his family with a contagious grin and such happiness.

Michele Welsh

I am so sorry and saddened to hear about Jon's sudden passing. He was a great guy and an amazing family man. My thoughts are with you, Beth and your kids.

Don Baldwin

Jon was a very caring and compassionate colleague. He was one of those individuals that lit up a room when he came in. It was always a pleasure to take a call from him - even if he was delivering bad news. His sense of humor was incredible - and when he was serious he commanded respect. My biggest regret was not spending more time with him as I am a better person for having known him. My deepest condolonces to his family and friends.

George Giese

Jon was a member of our Weight Watchers group here at Aon. He was always so positive and had a big smile on his face. He often talked about what he had made for his family to eat and how the kids enjoyed eating healthy without even knowing it. Jon will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences to his family.

Sharon Herendeen

Jon was passionate about his work but he was never happier than when talking about his family or at the end of the day as he was rushing home to see them. Jon was a trusted colleague and ally but what I will miss most is turning the corner and encountering his ever present smile, his dry wit and his always positive attitude. Our heartfelt sympathy to Beth, Ben, Joe and Ally and to all who loved Jon. We will miss him.

Paul Henmueller

Jon will be so so missed, I came to find a gentle friend here at Aon, always positively kind.

TERRY PICQUETTE

I am a colleague of Jon's at Aon and have worked with him since he started here. I am shocked and saddened by the news of his passing. He always made himself available to assist me in whatever i needed his help with and did so cheerfully. I'm going to miss speaking with him, his positive energy and great personality. My deepest sympathy is with his family in this difficult time.

Rob Lehnhoff

Jon had a wonderful impact on my life and he will be missed forever.

Ellen Lucey

Just by shaking Jon's hand, you knew you were meeting a genuinely great person. My condolensces.

Joey Wilson

Jon's love of life was evident in everything he did and people were better off for having interacted with him. He was a great colleague and a better friend. His infectious laugh and bright smile lit up whatever room he entered. His biggest smiles, however, were saved for when he talked about his family. Jon was truly a man who had his priorities in order. Beth, my sincerest condolences go out to you and the kids.

David Styler

Our whole family is deeply saddened and shocked by Jon's sudden passing. Our deepest condolences to Beth, the children and the entire Shapiro and Davidson families. He was a wonderful person, so full of life who loved his family more than anything. David will never forget all their time together and the friendship they shared.
Our thoughts, love and prayers are with you Beth, Ben, Joe and Ally.
He will be forever in all of our hearts.

David and Elyse Degen

Dear Beth, Ben, Joe & Ally,

Please accept my deepest condolences for Jonâ??s passing. My professional relationship with Jon dates back to his start at Aon. All of us at Aon were shocked and shaken to learn that such a bright and vibrant personality will no longer grace us all with his presence. Please know that all of you were the light of his life and that he spoke of all of you and your activities (soccer, swimming, summer camp) often. While we may not have met in person, I feel like I know you all through my many conversations and interactions with Jon. My heart goes out to all of you and you will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.


John Lies

I can't believe I will never get another bear (in the big blue house) hug and hear the (Woody Woodpecker-ish) laugh again. I will always think of Jon when going on any adventure such as biking, camping, hiking, road tripping, skiing, spelunking, or just going to a game of a favorite team. My life has been better for knowing Jon, like anyone that has ever met him (except stupid criminals). God bless all that have known and loved him as we live without him.

Mike Leissner

It is a so bad news that me and my team still have to realize.
We met Jon in more than one occasion and we have had the chance to appreciate him both as professional and as person.
He has been always so available assisting us on our issues and giving the right instruction to go further mitigating the compliance risks.
We will miss him, really.
I can still remember the very nice time spent together during the last Compliance meeting. My personal idea of Jon has always been of a big and generous man.
Me and all Italian colleagues feel very closed to his family and to all people that have met and dealt with him during his too much short time on this earth.
May he rest in peace.


Conny Mastroieni

My sincerest condolences to Jon's family. Jon's ever present smile and good humor will be fondly remembered. He had great pride in his family and was very dedicated to them. All of these are attributes to follow. Jon and his family remain in my prayers. May he rest in peace.

Carl Bleecher

Dear Beth, I am so sorry for your unimaginable loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Rachel Meltzer

Gina Ahmed

Our prayers are with your family dear Jon.
I am still in shock cause I saw him this last thursday at a meeting with his big smile he welcome me. My sincerely condolences to his family and you will be always in my prayers.

Bless you

Angelica Vargas Mexico

Jon was our sons' soccer coach. He was always so supportive, always saw the best in our boys, always had a smile on his face. He was so positive a person, I was honored to have him be a part of our lives.

I'll never forget a conversation we had about his most recent career choices and how he prioritized being at home with his family and coaching his kids above all else. That's a decision I'm sure he'll never regret.

We'll miss him very much, our hearts go out to you and his family.

Rafi, Jenna, Joe, Jake and Zeke

Rafi Arbel

I was deeply sadness to hear the passing away of John. He did a great works for Aon and his untimely departure is a great loss to us. Know that our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time.

With sincere sympathy.

Huong Quach

Beth, Ben, Joe, and Ally - our deepest sympathies to you all on the loss of Jon. Jon was a kind, loving, caring person and I know how much he loved you all. Whenever we got together for our lunches, the only thing he'd talk about was his love for you all. He was truly a remarkable man who loved his family with all his being. I will miss Jon and I will never forget him. Words cannot say how sorry I am for your loss.

Deb Temkin

I had the honor and pleasure of knowing and working with Jon for almost 15 years. During this time, I came to appreciate a genuinely wonderful human being and a top notch professional. He was a rare example that a true professional can have balance in life and his unmatched devotion to his family came before anything else. Among Jon's countless attributes, the two that will always stay in my mind were his passionate love for life and gusto. Beth, Ben, Joe and Ally: My thoughts and prayers are with you and there are not enough words to describe Jon's loss.

Art Tchalikian

We had the honor of getting to know Jon this past Fall when our daughter played on his soccer team. His enthusiasm was contagious and our daughter eagerly anticipated each weekend. Beth, Ben, Joe, and Ally....I know that your abundance of loving memories will keep Jon's spirit alive.

Natalie and Aaron Cohen

Jon came to the UK to visit us quite a few times. I always enjoyed spending time with him both professionally and socially. Jon and I often would speak on the phone on Fridays, and would both joke that it was nearer to my Guinness-o'clock than it was his. I will miss him.

Dan Booker

Jon and Beth were one of the first couples we met when we moved to Deerfield. After that first encounter, we ended up bumping into them EVERYWHERE (and all the time)-- Running, biking, early morning swims at Mitchell, family outings to the pool or the park, carpooling back and forth and back and forthâ?¦

Jon always had a smile on his face and a warm welcome to extend. Joe and I found ourselves seeking out his company in the pool stands. If we were going to sit at a swim meet for 4 hours, Jon was definitely a favorite to hang out with.

Our kids, Mason and David, loved when Jon picked them up in his 'cool' jeep and the endless conversations about Dr. Who.

His love and devotion to his family was bar none and his generosity to lend a hand was always forthcoming.

Jon will be greatly missed. Our love and support go out to Beth, Ben, Joe and Ally.


Nancy and Joe McCauley

This sucks. Mike just told me and its difficult to process all the emotions of disbelief, anger, and sadness.

In simpler days, we had great fun together at IU. He was always welcoming. We frequently had people over to our house on Walnut to play games, hang out, or watch a ball game.

We had great adventures mountain climbing for a few weeks from Michigan to Maine. I remember Jon called home and asked his mom to open a large packet and read the results of his tax exam. He passed all 4 on the first try! He ran around the campgrounds yelling and jumping up and down like a crazy person. It was a moment of pure joy.

I can't imagine the unbearable pain for Beth, the kids, and his parents. There is a bunch of theobabble that tries to explains things like this, but its nonsense. I simply cannot see or imagine any reasonable scenario where this makes sense.

My thoughts will remain with Beth now. Your gentle spirit will be sorely tested. I am sure you have more support than you can imagine, but this pain is uniquely yours and the kids. And that is pretty unfair.

I think I will choose to celebrate Jon's great life; albeit too short. He loved life. He loved his family. He had the best laugh and was always happy to see people. Jon was not perfect, but he was as good as any of us at our best.

In this messed up situation, my prayer is simple. I ask the universe to provide the grace to Beth and kids the strength to survive this and have great lives. I hope someday your love for Jon fills your heart so much, there one day will be no more room for sadness. Peace.

Tom Swiss

Jon was a beautiful soul. He was always smiling and always friendly. Jon was a wonderful husband, father, friend and coach. He will truly missed by all. Our thoughst and prayers are with Beth, Ben, Joe, Ally and all his family.

Susan and Dave Emory

We had the honor of having Jon coach our daughter last fall. He was always there with a warm smile and encouraging words for the girls. I remember one particular game, where my daughter was more interested in the leaves and twirling around - than playing soccer...I apologized after the game, and he looked at me and said- Is she having fun? I answered yes (as it was a highlight of her week) and he said then we are doing our job--I'm glad she is having fun. He was a great man. Our deepest sympathies are with your entire family and you will be in our thoughts in the coming weeks and months.

Brad and Christy Hahn

It has been two weeks since I heard the news and I am still shocked. I have spent many, many hours on the phone with Jon when I worked at Aon and also met him quite a few times in-person in various parts of the world. I can only confirm that he was a great person to work with. I learned lot of him and I still quote him on occasion. At the same time it was always fun to be around Jon. He taught me a lot of new English expressions, though I am still not sure whether they are really commonly known expressions or whether he just made them up on the spot. I know how he loved his family and how he loved going to Disneyland with the kids again and again - rather peculiar from a European perspective. He will be dearly missed and I offer my deepest condoleances to his family. I will keep on quoting him to ensure that he will not be forgotten.

Geert Vermeulen

I am so very saddened to learn of Jon's passing. I know this comes late, but I just learned the news today. I used to work with Jon at Deloitte and then later when he was at Aon. I always enjoyed working with/spending time with Jon. He had such a positive energy and enthusiasm for everything he did, and he always stressed that his number one pride and joy was his family. A very special man indeed. He will be forever missed. My sincere condolences for your loss.
