Til min kjære onkel Jonn og gode venn -
Takk for alle gode, fine og gilde minner. Så mykje latter og kjekt rundt deg, som eg har vore så heldig å få oppleva og vera del av. Det er både vemodig og fint å tenkja på no -
Alltid stas når du kom til Bømlo - Du samla familie rundt deg og mykje lått og løye følgte i ditt kjølvatn!
Takk for at du var ein så god onkel og venn for meg -
helsing Eldbjørg
Hello,
Today I learned of Jonn Jensen Nesses passing. I first met him 45 years ago when he and my husband worked together for the F-16 program. While it had been years since I saw him last, I never lost my deep appreciation and affection for him. His exceptional intellect. Wit. Charm. Compassion. Raucous laughter. And how very much he adored and was proud of his kids.
I recalled our family trip to Disney World. I remember the goofy, innocent joy he took in gammel dancing. The way he would say, nei, men... So many, many moments.
But most of all, I recall his candor, his refreshing and open nature. He is the man who shocked me by telling me I was too intelligent to smoke. I never forgot that conversation. It took a few years, but his advice remained with me and finally made the difference. He is one of those rare people whose specific wisdom I consistently recalled and applied over the decades.
So, takk for hvert eneste minutt vennen min. I know you go boldly into your next adventure and I will look forward to a wonderful reunion down the road. Ill be the one without the cigarette.
So much love,
Cathy Rondeau
