It has been great to read about Jon's working life on this blog. Many years ago I was the manager of his band The London Boys - and we all should have given up when he left! Reading what people have said it would seem Jon never changed. The kindness, quiet and modest - I`d forgotten about that. And putting an end to the discussion so we all realised it had gone on long enough. The best arguments were with Jon and usually ended with a lot of laughing and his quiet smile as he looked at you. We lost the main discussion - the one where he went off to Uni. To do something silly like Psychology was it?! "Stay with the band!" I think we were all equally upset and proud when he made his decision to leave. I have been a colleague of his sister Sarah for some years so have kept up with some of his fantastic achievements. I had been hoping to bump into him again and chat about it all. So sad. Huge condolences to his family and friends. Take care of yourselves.
Jon Driver died suddenly on 28th November 2011. Jon was a wonderful individual; a loving son, husband, father and brother; and an irreplaceable friend and colleague.
