Marina (Jon’s wife) has allowed me to post, so it is with great sadness and regret that I have to inform you all of the passing of my very good friend and TN forum member j.gooch
Jon died yesterday at 17:08.
My thoughts are with Marina and the family, but especially with Emma and Melanie, Marina and Jon’s daughters.
Jon was a very experienced ‘old school’ driver who’d done European trips through the 80s, 90s and 00s and also owned and operated his own truck for a few years.
My memories of Jon are all good… a straight-talking guy who always said it (and posted) as he saw it, so you always knew where you stood.
The world is a poorer place without Jon, and that’s for sure.
I sold Jon a new Truck in 2008, Very sad to be reading this, I met Marina a few times and they were a lovely couple.
My sincere condolences go to Marina and the family.
