Anyone with information on Jon Dahlquist?

I am hoping to find out anything about Jon to share with an online vintage group focused on the DQ-10. Lots of rumors swirling around so I'd prefer only accurate and first-person info. vs the other. Thanks.

Dahlquist was one of the first hifi-brands we distrinuted in The Netherlands. It was great fun and in a way I regret I did not keep a pair "for ever". But you cannot keep everything in life. DQ10's could sound wonderful and some times awful. It was very confusing. Sometimes I heard the speaker and thought "Am I recommending this"? and was speeding home to listen there and feel better if I found out again it COULD sound very good. 
I met Jon Dahlquist (once) and the late Mr. Saul Marantz (several times). Both were very nice, gentle people. 
Last thing I heard is that Jon was in a serious car-accident. But I might have contactdetails from someone who was involved at that time also in the Dahlquist-business (USA) and most probably knows where to find Jon. Just mail me: herman @ durob.nl
