Fons took me on a PhD students a few days before he officially retired. That says a lot about him and his desire to be of service to others even when he did not have to. I don’t know what he saw in me but I am grateful he let me into his mind and his world. Big heart, big wisdom and patience for days. He made me feel like I was doing something right even when I doubted myself so much. I will remember you fondly for that short time I was blessed enough to have you on my Ph.D journey and will miss you for the rest of it. Rest easy, Fons. You did your part.
