From Walt Lonner To me, Fons was among the most well-rounded colleagues in the cross-cultural pantheon. He was highly competent, a great listener, punctual as a Swiss clock, and a genuine humanitarian. I worked with him in several ways, the most important of which was the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology. In his seven years as editor, we probably exchanged about 300 e-mails. This correspondence was especially critical in 2003-4 when Sage Publications bought the copyright to the JCCP from Western Washington University. His advice and promptness were appreciated by all involved. I will miss him a great deal. His laugh was infectious! My condolences to Lona and his many friends.
