Bev, our prayers are with you in your great loss of such a loving and devoted husband. We will truely miss Jon at church for his insight and fantastic humor. I remember the joke gifts you came back from vacation with to tease pastor with. What a joy it was to have Jon in Thursday morning bible study. I remember recently sitting with you and Jon at coffee time before service. Jon was so proud of your children telling me all about them and their accomplishments. What a lovely family you have. God Bless you, you are in our thoughts.

Dear Patty, Tom and I are sad to hear of your loss. I share Jon's birthdate, and I remember fondly your mother including me in his birthday party years ago. I lived on Chestnut Street and both Tom and I remember Jon for his warmth and wonderful humor. A world of memories returned when I received this notice from my sister, Carin.

It is with great regret I send my regards to your family at this time of sorrow. I went to school with Jon and we shared several classes. He was great fun to be around and I often wondered where he went after we graduated. I only got to attend one class reunion and I don't recall seeing him there.I watched the tribute and I can see he had a wonderful life and a great family. May God Bless you and comfort you in your sorrow.
