I met Lonne as a grad student at Laboratory for Space Physics (LASP) at University of Colorado, Boulder. I was finishing up my PhD and he encouraged me to apply for a post-doc at JPL, and for the Voyager 2 encounter with Neptune. He was a great teacher, mentor and friend. Thanks to him, my planetary career got off to a good start and I still use some of the tips/advice he gave me at the start of my career. I will miss him, even as I try to help the new, younger planetary scientists.
Thanks, Lonne, for a great opportunity! I will never forget you! I hope your family is able to enjoy reading stories of what a great person you were and were definitely one of JPL's best. R.I.P.
