Losing Fons at such a young age is an unspeakable tragedy. I have admired his talents and enjoyed his company for many years. No task was beyond his ingenuity: when he took over from me as editor of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, he came to the UK by train with several very large empty suitcases. This enabled him to take home all the folders that were entailed in his being editor in the pre-electronic age. I particularly remember his enthusiastic encouragement after I gave a paper at the 2002 congress in Singapore. This caused a change in my career direction, yielding a strong link with one of the many research topics that he pioneered during his career. In his recent presidency of IACCP, he fully exemplified his towering strength within our field.
