If you haven’t heard already, Jon Swift a/k/a Al Weisel died unexpectedly. I did not know him personally, but many who did have written moving tributes in remembrance of his all too short life. You can find links to them at Skippy’s place and at this Facebook group which I urge you to join if you are a Facebook member.
Jon’s writing was consistently hilarious, and consistently of the highest quality. I will miss his blog posts, but even more I will mourn the loss of the man, brother, son and friend who existed outside the electronic world of the internet. His humor was always dead on, but also never cruel or mean-spirited. He was too good for those who suffered the barbed arrows of his wit.
May all those whose lives he touched with his writing remember him.
