Jon taught was an adjunct professor and taught structures and random vibrations at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He was both very academic and an outstanding hands-on engineer.

I had the pleasure of working w/Jon over the last several years. He was an amazing soul. I know he will be greatly missed. Praying for his family during this time. God Bless - Sarah Shaffer

Tory,Mark, and George,

We are thinking of you at this sad time  that is so shocking. He was a special man.

What a wonderful, unique character, a friend from Brown Hall freshman year.  Jon was such a power in the last years of Joe Luongo's life when we visited in 2008, I think.

Would hope to see you soon, your "place", Carmel, would be ideal.

My love to you Tory, George and Mark.  Jon was a giant among men and will be missed by all, laurie Boone Hogen

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Tory, I'm so sorry to hear of your husband's passing. I hope you are holding up well and can cherish your memories.

Jon was not only an inspiration for many reasons, but he actually delivered by working hard and well for things in which he believed. 

His contributions to York School over the years were many and varied.

His accomplishments and friendship are greatly appreciated.

Dear Mrs. Raggett, Mark, and George, I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Raggett's passing. You are in my thoughts and prayers. And I will see you all on October 16th.

Our hearts go out to you Tory.  
Sending love and comfort as you travel through the grief of this great loss. If there is anything we can do, we are home now and just down the street.
Dotti and Phil Bradbury

To Jon's family: I feel very privileged to have had the chance to work with Jon over the past 15 years.  His positive spirit, incredible depth of knowledge, humility, and ability to explain even the most complex aerodynamic issues were overshadowed only by his warmth and friendship.  He will be greatly missed.  Please accept my deepest condolences.

to the Family - our sincerest condolences.  Those of us who worked with Jon are thankful for the privilege of knowing him - his brilliance in aerodynamics, his love of his work, his enthusiastic approach to helping us design and his genuine friendship.  We were very fortunate to have crossed his path.  Jon will be greatly missed, but never forgotten.

Dear Jon's Family,
I am very sad to hear of Jon's sudden passing; he was a classmate at Carmel High School and always a kind, respectful person. 
Please accept my caring thoughts and prayers for your family.
Best, 
Constance (Connie Cate) Thayer

Dear Tory and Family,
My shock at learning of Jon's passing pales next to yours. I'm so very sorry for you and your entire family. All I can do is send supportive thoughts. Jon was an extraordinarily nice and gentle man. His quiet manner and great intelligence were unique. His generosity was demonstrated by designing and building schools in Africa. I've known Jon ever since he was a little boy, for we all grew up in Carmel together. His mother taught kindergarten, and my late sister was in her class (before I was born). We all shopped at Putnam & Raggett on Ocean Avenue where Jon's father waited on us...in his bow tie. We spent many happy hours in the Raggett home in Hatton Fields with Mike, Jon and dachshund dog, Herman.
With love,
Lucinda Lloyd 
Carmel, CA
