I’m extremely sad to report that today the therapy community has lost a true beacon. Our friend, Jon Newman, succumbed to cancer early this morning.
It was Jon’s wish that his battle would not be common knowledge so that he could continue to contribute normally, which he did up to this week, adding his extremely valuable insight as was his way. His wife, Michelle, who several of us have also had the pleasure of meeting, informed us of Jon’s state yesterday and of his passing this morning. He had apparently been fighting this battle for some time and when things turned bad on Monday he declined quickly.
We invite you to contribute your thoughts as we remember our dear friend and the many wonderful contributions that he has left with us.
