I had the pleasure of working with Jody for about 7 years while I was at NPM. Jody was just an all around incredible dude. He was never too cool and he always made it a point to be kind to the newer and younger team members. I have fond memories with him at NPM retreats in Park City and DC where Jody always made time to chat with me over a glass (or 2,3) of wine. I will always remember how we snuck off in the middle of a company retreat to go check out a wine shop that had just opened down the road from NPR HQ, so we could stock up for post-work hotel parties with the whole team. That's the kind of guy he was; incredibly generous and always looking out for his people! Sending my deepest condolences and lots of love to Jody's family and friends. May he rest in peace. ❤️ Vic
