Fry's President Jon Flora Dies at 58
Jon Flora, President of grocery chain Fry's Food Stores,

six years.
"We are deeply saddened to lose Jon, our dear
friend and extraordinary leader," said Dave Dillon,
Chairman and CEO of Kroger, Fry's parent company.
"Jon leaves a legacy of enthusiasm and passion for
doing what's right for our customers, our neighbors
and our associates. He touched the lives of countless
people in our company as well as throughout our industry and community. He was a true 'servant leader'
who mentored many associates at every level of our
business and an incredible champion of Associate Engagement. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends."

Girls Club. Flora was also committed to the issue of
ending hunger.
